Description
In a bleak seaside town, Alistair Berg, a man haunted by his past and teetering on the brink of madness, arrives with a singular, dark purpose: to confront his father. This unsettling narrative plunges into the twisted dynamics of a family bound by obsession and a shared, destructive love. As Alistair's quest for retribution unfolds, the lines between sanity and delusion blur, revealing the profound psychological depths of his fractured existence. Ann Quin masterfully crafts a stark and visceral exploration of identity, desire, and the inescapable pull of familial trauma.
