Description
In Iain Banks’s final novel, six old friends reunite at a crumbling house beside a vast quarry, where the past refuses to remain buried. As a young man investigates a missing videotape made by his father and the group years earlier, old loyalties, buried grievances, and uncomfortable truths rise to the surface. Darkly comic, fiercely observant, and threaded with anger and tenderness, the novel explores friendship, mortality, memory, and the ways people confront—or evade—their own decline. It is a powerful, unsentimental meditation on the dying of the light and the bonds that endure at the edge of the void.
