Read: The Perfect Golden Circle by Benjamin Myers ★★★★ 📚

The Battle was the Battle of the Beanfield in 1985, at which Redbone was a more than willing partici-pant, and a subject that Calvert has frequently indulged his friend in over the intervening years but which he has little desire to hear repeated now, or indeed ever again, for the account is well worn and the telling of it is like retreading a desire path through the vegetation of Redbone’s semi-fictionalised personal history.
Calvert has long suspected that his friend somehow equates that June afternoon with some of the blood-and mud-flecked battles that he himself was a part of in South Georgia, when of course they are incomparable.

1989 over a summer 2 very different misfits spend 10 nights creating crop circles while lost in their own thoughts about society, the natural world, war & much more. A boys book perhaps, but an enjoyable one.
