It is seldom that one can say a book is perfect, but this is as close as I’ve seen in a
very long time’ SUNDAY INDEPENDENT
‘A bold and unsettling parable about guilt, atonement and redemption’ IRISH TIMES
Michael has travelled a long way from his boyhood under the endless skies of the
Midwest. His retirement is peaceful, if solitary. But one day there is a visitation: a
mysterious car on the seafront, and a package delivered. From its contents, Michael
understands that he has been commissioned to undertake a final journey.
As Michael makes his way deep into a distant desert – a strange and liminal landscape
that lies between hell and redemption – he undertakes another journey, into longsuppressed memories: of Vietnam and the dying days of war, and to face a final
accounting for what was done.
‘Another compact marvel … This is a meditative novel that, while investing heavily in
a patient buildup of atmosphere, never forgets the need to put a foot on the gas’
DAILY MAIL
‘David Park’s novels are always elegantly written’ INDEPENDENT
‘Unflinching, courageous, wise, alert to the thrill and sorrow of violence … Adds to
David Park’s status as a superb novelist’ FRANK MCGUINNESS
