Specifikacia Ancient Light
For fans of Colm Toibin's Brooklyn and Julian Barnes' The Sense of an Ending, the story of obsessive young love and the power of grief - Ancient Light is the best novel yet from the Booker Prize winner of The Sea. 'Billy Gray was my best friend and I fell in love with his mother.'Alexander Cleave, an actor who thinks his best days are behind him, remembers his first unlikely affair as a teenage boy in a small town in 1950s Ireland: the illicit meetings in a rundown cottage outside town; assignations in the back of his lover's car on sunny mornings and rain-soaked afternoons. And with these early memories comes something sharper and much darker - the more recent recollection of the actor's own daughter's suicide ten years before.
