内容简介
Knowing that your child is being bullied is every parent's nightmare. When the bullying starts soon after a child has lost its mother, things can only go from bad to worse. This is precisely the scenario in Neil Cross's chilling and ultimately violent novel Always the Sun. The widower Sam, a psychiatric nurse, has recently moved back to his old hometown in England with his teenage son, Jamie. Still not quite functioning after their traumatic bereavement, father and son are drawn into a faud with a local family. Gross's style is spare and masculine. It is also a bit off kilter because the story is told from Sam's point of view. He finds it hard to get a handle on what is going on, so the reader does not really trust his account. Always the Sun is a dark and troubling tale, that leaves the reader with a hollow feeling of sadness. (Kirkus UK) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
