Description

A rich and evocative story of a marriage and the secrets a family holds, Rough Music is a gripping portrait of a family's turmoil and the quiet, devastating fall-out of their relationships. When a holiday on the coast of Cornwall brings unexpected upheaval, Julian is forced to confront the realities of his parents' marriage and the happy, cheerful boyhood he thought was his. As he reflects on the past, he begins to recognise the secrets, loss and betrayals that have shaped his life. Patrick Gale's clear and unforced prose sucks the reader in effortlessly, as he analyses the actions and deeds of a family on the brink of not really knowing each other. With superb characterisations and a deep understanding of the human psyche, Gale crafts a story that is both deeply moving and profoundly insightful.
