THE HOUSE OF BROKEN BRICKS
Εκδότης Faber & Faber , ISBN 9780571379576
Lyrical and powerful - a tender debut about family,
loss and life in the countryside.
If every marriage has its seasons, Richard and Tess's is in a deep winter.
As day breaks over the Somerset Levels, Tess watches the chamomile clouds
part. This morning, two sunrises graze the frosted floodplains: one rises low
over a stretch of willows, while the other shines brightly from beneath the wa-
ter. The light paints the house a startling crimson: a painful beauty that Tess,
Richard and their son Max - riddled with grief - find easy to ignore.
But none of them can ignore Sonny, who desperately wants things to go back
to the way they were before.
As the seasons change, and the cracks in the bricks let in more light, might
this broken family find a way to start to heal?
