Status Updates From Phantom Limb

This is a very odd but interesting book, with two apparently separate stories interleaved, undoubtedly linked, but how? An ex-runner turned minister finds a (living), miracle-working severed hand. A medieval (?) manuscript illuminator battles with the reformation (I think). What will happen? God only knows.

“They really shouldn’t be hanging around. They need to start bleaching his floor…burning his clothes. What about Quebec or Catalonia, some wee separatist place? They might like how you’re Scottish. You can say how you’re an activist or it was a political killing kind of thing.”

“I hear you’ve been hassling my staff… I wouldn’t worry, mate. I do it all the time. It’s good to be like that, a bit mental. Because you’re a timid guy”

This is simply not engaging me. Life is too short.

Somewhat boring so far but I'll give it a shot
