Description
In May 1940, Norfolk was shrouded in uncertainty as Europe teetered on the brink of war. For William Abrehart, a young boy struggling to cope with his father's mysterious death, the woods and fields held a strange and unsettling presence. As the past and present collided over a momentous weekend, a complex web of lies and self-deception began to unravel. The lives of William's mother and sisters became intertwined with the stories of those around them - a soldier sweetheart in France, an airman stationed nearby, and the haunting memories that lingered long after the truth had been revealed. A dark and elegiac tale of grief, love, and loss, 'The Listeners' is a poignant exploration of how we try to make sense of existence through stories and memories.
