C. R. Clarke is a thirty-year veteran of the film industry, having worked on more than sixty movies. His love of writing first birthed from discovering an ability to write poetry despite being dyslexic. Poetry became stories, and through his endeavours, he has all but cured his debilitating affliction.
The Puppet Tears is the second novel he has written, and the first to be published, with many more in the pipeline to follow.
As I have grown older, I'm done with all the old romantics. I now look for something a little bit different, a little bit quirky, and I have found this in The Puppet Tears. It has the lot - quirkiness, excitement and romance. C.R. Clarke is a real storyteller.
For a book that is at times incredibly bleak, It manages to be strangely fun and a a romp. I found the main protagonists needlessly insular and paranoid, giving the whole tale an air of tragedy. The ending is also remarkable in its unforeseeable inventiveness, and felt I was in his skin when what was happening, happened. (Trying to avoid spoilers).
If you're an animal lover, you might want to avoid, otherwise, I highly recommend this book...
