Ilustration During Books The Sky is Not Blue

A dark tale of oppressive friendship and the fallibility of memory.

Photographer Chrissy returns home for the first time in 34 years, unsure if she caused the death of her best friend, Pat, in 1973.

Her parents now dead, she plans to sell up quickly and leave. But the past returns, unbidden and cloudy. Elderly neighbour Alice and childhood friend Marion seem unable or unwilling to fill in the gaps. And Spencer, the nihilistic lover she’d assumed dead, is alive and producing commercial art for tourists.

Memories of events leading up to Pat’s death must be recovered if Chrissy is to find out what it is she's been running from all those years.

Mesmerising. I will write more when I've had time to think about it. (But before I do I might start again at the beginning - it's that sort of book.)

As others here have said, this book is peculiarly compelling. It's not 'entertainment', it's a book for thinking about, a dark, deep story where little happens in the present that is out of the ordinary but where the past hovers like a ghostly presence and dominates the characters and their feelings and intrigues with its shifting, shadowy shapes and mysteries. The writing is beautiful, sometimes a little too wordy but alway deep, philosophic, cynical, despairing at times yet always thoughtful.
