Description

Ludwig Unger returns to his hometown after a decade, carrying a plastic bag filled with his mother's ashes and little else. He is there to make amends with his lonely past and bid farewell to the familial ghosts that still haunt him. Raised in a cliff-top cottage on the coast of England, Ludwig grew up in his mother's shadow, developing an obsession with her sensual allure. But when he discovers the secret of her past as the world-famous porn star "Eve LaSage" and her plans for a comeback, his world spins out of control. This novel is a story of beauty and decay, of filial loyalty and parental betrayal, and of the importance of self-sacrifice.
