BACK OF THE BOOK:
A man reunites with his estranged father to uncover the truth about his tragic childhood …
Twenty-seven ago, eleven-year-old Callum was abducted. His body was found six months later by his older brother, Tom, near a Neolithic henge called the Shadowing Stones. It was the first in a series of events that would tear Tom’s family apart. Convinced his father was responsible for his brother’s death, Tom fled to Australia to start a new life.
Now, decades later, Tom learns that his father is dying of cancer. Knowing this may be his last chance to learn the truth, Tom returns to England. But when he crosses paths with childhood acquaintance Anna, the pair are drawn together. As Tom grows closer to both Anna and his father, he is confronted with a series of shocking twists and revelations that will change his life forever…
REVIEW:
From reading the blurb, for some reason, I was expecting a thriller novel, but what I ended up with was a much better story than I ever expected. The main ark of the story is Tom returning home to take care of his father, who is dying, and the hope of finding out what happened once and for all to his brother many years earlier. There is so much more that goes on within this book than a search for answers, though when we do get those answers, there are a few shocks.
To me, the story is about secrets and the impact they can have on people’s lives and we see that across a few relationships, but also it is a story of self-discovery and finding someone special mixed in with a deeper darker story that keeps you reading page after page to see where everything leads.
Another strong contender for my favourite book of the year.
