Author's eighth novel. As Nick's grandfather, Geordie lays dying, haunted by his comrades' ghosts in the World War One trenches, the renovation of a Victorian house yields its own dark secrets. A study of memory, trauma, and loss, and the past's unerring capacity to distort the present.

From the Booker Prize-winning author of the Regeneration Trilogy and one of the original group of twenty "Best of Young British Novelists," selected by Granta in 1983. "Gripping in the best, most exquisite sense of the word – as if something wicked were holding you in its clutches." –Mail on Sunday
