A Rustle in the Grass

I found Robin Hawdon’s novel A Rustle in the Grass quite serendipitously at a second-hand bookstore, and was immediately intrigued by the idea of a serious novel set in an ant colony.

The book is fast-paced and reads easily, but still presents a remarkably deep and interesting story with excellent analogies relating to our own society and lives.

This was an unexpected gem of a novel, and one I thoroughly enjoyed (I read it almost continuously in a single day).
