Description
A young engineer's appointment to a Kent coastal village sets off a chain of events that challenge his perceptions of himself and his native Guyana. As he learns more about the village's history through his lodger, Mrs. Rutherford, he uncovers a latent violence beneath its English surface. This novel explores the connection between land and memory, forcing the narrator to confront the imperial past and its ongoing impact on the present. Through his relationship with Mrs. Rutherford, he gains insight into the complex web of histories that shape our understanding of identity and belonging. With its nuanced exploration of colonial legacy and personal identity, this thought-provoking novel invites readers to reflect on the enduring power of memory and the land we inhabit.
