Ancient Light Penguin Essentials
'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. It is a dazzling novel, funny, utterly pleasurable and devastatingly moving in the same moment.'Illuminating, funny, devastating. 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.Ancient Light is the story of a life rendered brilliantly vivid: the obsession and selfishness of young love and the terrifying shock of grief.
A luminous, breathtaking work' Independent on Sunday 'Startlingly brilliant. A meditation of breathtaking beauty and profundity on love and loss and death' Financial Times 'Banville perfectly captures the spirit of adolescence. Terrific - full of sadness and yearning' Sunday Telegraph
