Acerca deste livro eletrónico
'People who say there aren't any brilliant literary novels about contemporary England anymore have obviously never read this.' Irvine Welsh
A brilliantly imagined and unsettling novel from the award-winning author of Heliopolis and The Amnesia Clinic
Three solitary characters remember their shared past in a sprawling, derelict psychiatric hospital on the English coast: a turbulent summer in the aftermath of the hospital's closure that culminated in a shocking, life-altering accident. But the more each tries to comprehend the past, the more elusive it becomes. Wreaking is an intricate, labyrinthine novel about the opiate power of place, the fragility of sanity and the fickle nature of memory.
