The City and the City
Outstanding work by Miéville, this combination of detective novel and fantasy is an engrossing and thought-provoking read.
Starting when Inspector Borlu of the Beszel police is called to a murder scene, this story unfolds into bizarre relationshop of twin cities of Beszel and Ul Qoma.
Unlike Buda and Pest or Minneapolis and St Paul these cities aren't next door neighbours - they occupy the same physical space.
Miéville conveys the atmosphere of the cites wonderfully well and from behind the eyes of his protagonist you feel he really understands what it would be like to live in a city and have to 'unsee' the trains going past your window because they're in the other city...
I recommend this book without reservation.
