Terry Pratchett!!!!!
So I picked up Pratchett's new book 'Nation'. It's the first one that I've read does not take place in Discworld.
The plot so far is one we're all familiar with on some level or another. A tsunami wipes out Mau's entire village and he through sheer luck, survives.
The beginning is horrid. Excellent reading don't get me wrong, just heartbreaking. He details how the boy shuts down so he can lay all of the dead villagers to rest and keep himself alive at the same time.
I'm only fifty or so pages in, and I can see already it's going to be a good one.
