Inhaltsangabe

Alex Feinstein’s life is in free-fall. His career has tanked. His wife has left him. And he’s at war with his 15-year-old son. To cap it all, he’s just had a frightening diagnosis. At the end of his tether - literally - he's about to hang himself from the living-room ceiling when his distraught ex calls to say their son’s been kidnapped at Glasto. The gang is demanding a hefty ransom, and if the cops get involved, Fred’s toast.

But who are these people - and why have they targeted Fred? With renewed sense of purpose and nothing to lose, Alex wriggles out of his makeshift noose and embarks on a frantic mission to rescue the boy - and who knows? - perhaps even himself.

The House of the Rising Son is a dark comic odyssey through the converging traumas of mid-life and adolescence, with a fresh look at family dynamics through the post#MeToo male prism.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jonathan Gershfield is a multi-award winning TV director with a bent for comedy. He has previously written for the big screen, the small screen, the stage and The Times, but this is his first stab at a novel. The House of the Rising Son was spawned from his own front-line experience as a father grappling with the highs and lows of family life, during the unrelenting blitzkrieg of adolescence.
