Quick Bright Things - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Alice Crighton, mourning her brilliant husband, Philip, has come to the tranquil French countryside to sort through his papers and to set down her recollections of his last, strange weeks. But her retreat is disrupted by a chaotic neighbour - a forgotten and drink-sodden female rock singer - and by the courtly French aristocrat who had known Philip in his adolescence and may hold the key to his secrets. Both reveal surprises. As does the manuscript which Alice unearths from Philip's possessions. All of which begin to explain his past and even his death. In this self-contained sequel to his widely-praised novel, THE GREATEST SORROW, Keith Ovenden explores love and free will, adolescence and maturity, memory and fiction.
