Description
A 1970s Norfolk farm serves as the backdrop for this unsettling novel about trauma and its aftermath. A Japanese girl's visit to her English lover's childhood home, where his father's violent death occurred, sets off a chain of events that exposes unresolved narratives from their past. As the harvest season progresses, the old trauma begins to surface, and the story becomes a meditation on war's long reach. The author's masterful handling of this complex subject matter is both wise and compassionate. This taut and thought-provoking book explores the burdens of bearing witness to traumatic events and their lasting impact on individuals and families.
