For twenty years, Daniel has been trying to overcome the consequences of child psychological trauma. He is not able to forget what happened when he was twelve. The only way is to try to understand what happened then, to deal with the past and finally accept it. But the events that occurred in August 1995 are too striking, terrible and inexplicable ... One morning his father Francis calls for Daeniel to spend a couple of days with him and show him the film studio on which he works. But the trip from the very first hours went wrong, and by the evening a journey, designed to bring his father and son, turned into a nightmare, as if invented by Stephen King, but he only unfolds in reality. The incredible, almost surreal tragedy that happened in those warm August days will pursue Dan all his life. A dynamic, touching, frightening novel about what today worries many - about how childhood injuries determine our life, about a close plexus of love and violence. Benjamin Wood is anxious, elegant and very beautiful. He is woven from stress sparkling electricity, dives into the distorted consciousness of an adult and the light of hope that he lives in the soul of a child.
Press about the book
A novel written in an interior full of nervous energy. This is a great story about injury and slow healing in its anxiety. Sarah Waters
A novel about whether a person is able to learn to live with shadows from his past. The fact that our present is not a continuation of the past, but the beginning of the future. The fact that the only way to avoid injuries is to lock up in a narrow, cramped place where you are in complete safety, and never leave it. And that the main achievement of man is not his successes, but his failures, which he was able to overcome, without breaking, his readiness and the ability to new failures. John Bernside
Wood elegant and disturbing novel is skillfully woven from tension and frightening immersion into the incomprehensible consciousness of a person who committed impossible actions. Guardian
Benjamin Wood wrote a novel of exceptional power and beauty about the connection between fathers and sons, about psychological injuries and attempts to forget about them, about closely woven violence and love. Shortlist
A story that begins as a piercing story of growing up in its tenderness, gradually twists into a tight spiral out of anxiety, love, incomprehensibility of what is happening and explodes an incredible ending. Daily Mail
Gently cutting the cover of love between the father and son, frightening, exciting, stunning with its oddity, the story literally penetrated my skin and now lives there. Benjamin Wood is one of the best novelists of Great Britain. David Belhaus
A wretched story about violence and its complex consequences. A bright and disturbing novel, unexpected and insightful. Ian McGari
This restrained northern noir develops at a dizzying speed, but for a minute it ceases to be gentle and fragile, intuitive and frightening. Andrew McMillan
