Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Outline: -It`s 1957 and Lewis Aldridge is travelling back to his home in the South of England. He is straight out of jail and nineteen years old. His return will trigger the implosion not just of his family but of a whole community. A decade earlier his father`s homecoming casts a different shape. The war is over and Gilbert reverts easily to suburban life-cocktails at six-thirty church on Sundays-but his wife and young son resist the stuffy routine. Lewis and his mother escape to the woods for picnics just as they did in wartime days. Nobody is surprised that Gilbert`s wife counters convention but they are all shocked when after one of their jaunts Lewis comes back without her. Not far away Kit Carmichael keeps watch. She has always understood more than most not least from what she is dealt by her own father`s hand. Lewis`s grief and burgeoning rage are all too plain and Kit makes a private vow to help. But in her attempts to set them both free she fails to predict the painful and horrifying secrets that must first be forced into the open. --> Genre: Literary Fiction Mystery-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Vintage Books The date of this copy is 2008 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
