It must have been fun to try to recognise the real life locations; I really felt that the author's love of the place shines through the text.More in the form of a state of mind than in some of the locations though. Some of it did not ring true. He seemed to be describing some locations in Norfolk, but placing them much closer to Cambridge. I found that a bit unsettling.
