SYNOPSIS A boy exiles himself from his family through a shocking act of violence. Years later, having built a new life he returns to try to understand his past.

Starting at the point of the final tragedy, we discover through four narrators the fabric of lies on which all their live were built, and how deep wounds can go.
 

 

 

 

 

 

PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK ‘Martin writes with the cool-eyed precision of a young Muriel Spark. The worlds he creates are slightly off-centre, yet recognisably our own; his writing tells us, in a subtle, entertaining and skewering style, a great deal about our selves and our everyday delusions.’Beth Miller
