Description: |
Terence Cave lost his mother, his wife, and one of his beloved twins. Bryony, the survivor, is the family's hope: a golden teenager, clever, sweet, eager to please. Now Terence realises his one duty is to keep her safe from the world's malign forces. This is a story of distorted love, with chilling resonance for any parent of a frustrated teenager. |
