British journalist David Higgerson has dished out some more praise for Mimi Johnson‘s Gathering String.

Higgerson, who praised Gathering String early in 2013, featured it second in his post of 13 books by journalists to get you through Christmas:

This was the book which led to me starting 2013 with bags under my eyes.

In his January post, Higgerson said he was sleep-deprived after late night’s reading the novel:

You know when you think you don’t have time to read, then start reading a book when you get chance and then everything else that can be put to one side tends to go that way? This is one of those books.
