Meer oor hierdie e-boek

'To write well about Ulster while keeping terrorism from monopolising the foreground is infinitely hard. This wise, sincere, troubling novel shows how it should be done' The Times

'To pull off this sort of story satisfactorily demands a skill in timing and a clarity in presentation which are beyond most novelists: but Park doesn't put a foot wrong' Sunday Telegraph
________________________
Returning to rural Northern Ireland for a fresh start, John Cameron takes on the role of headmaster at his old primary school. But as dark memories are disturbed and his marriage falters, Cameron is left feeling powerless in this fractured community.

Driven by unresolved grief and tormented by his waking dreams, he is forced to confront his past as he struggles to prevent history from repeating itself.
