The plot: Tom Bedford has had a difficult childhood, marked by unspeakable secrets and this has affected his adult life and his relationship with his wife and son.
An intense novel by Nicholas Evans, author of the famous man who whispered to the horses, the story of a man with a broken heart, unable even to love deeply the beautiful wife and son. There are too many secrets for burning his childhood and did not have the courage to confess even to his family and his life in this perennial fiction has come to remove him from his affections cari.Ma when one day his son Danny, enlisted in the Marines to follow in the footsteps of his stepfather, finds himself involved in a difficult issue in Iraq, risking Marzili Court and perhaps even life, will take over his life, pick up the broken threads and work hard to help her son who had separated from him with contempt and rancore.E must learn to forgive and forgive.
It 'hard to talk about the novel without revealing those secrets will be revealed as the reader, I can only mention that the story is told in two parallel planes, the life of baby Tommy, who loves Westerns, and so lonely, locked up by their parents in a somber and important college and adult life of Tom, an expert on Indian history, the author of a documentary Standing on the success of the tribe of Blacks, always lonely and away from the family that although she loved, even by his son who admires emarginto more solid stepfather.
A novel about the inner torment that generate the injuries sustained by children, about the disappointment and disorientation that results in the fall of a myth of childhood, the effort to start life anew but with so much devastation to spalle.Una beautiful story which could easily be made into a film as his first novel, The Horse Whisperer, maybe this time with Robert Redford.
