The Slowworm's Song - Andrew Miller
By the Costa Award-winning author of PURE, a profound and tender tale of guilt, a search for atonement and the hard, uncertain work of loving. Now, to testify about it could wreck his fragile relationship with Maggie. An ex-soldier and recovering alcoholic living quietly in Somerset, Stephen Rose has just begun to form a bond with Maggie, the daughter he barely knows, when he receives a summons - to an inquiry in Belfast about an incident during the Troubles, which he hoped he had long outdistanced.
He decides instead to write her an account of his life - a confession, a defence, a love letter. And if he loses her, he loses everything. Also a means of buying time.
But as time runs out, the day comes when he must face again what happened in that distant summer of 1982.
