Description
Tom Docherty's life was full of promise in 1955. With a summer job at a brick works and his school days behind him, he had a whole future ahead. Years later, alone in a rented flat, Tom reflects on the intellectual and sexual awakening of his youth. As he looks back, Tom discovers that understanding where he came from is key to making sense of his life now. This poignant coming-of-age story explores the complexities of identity, memory, and the passage of time. A powerful and introspective novel, The Kiln is a thought-provoking exploration of one man's journey through the trials and triumphs of youth.
