Full Description
When the author is given a small package, containing
letters and papers relating to his grandfather's brother, who
was killed in Syria during the Second World War, it leads
him on an extended personal journey. An exploration of
history, imagination and the process of memory, shifting
imperceptibly from autobiography to travelogue, from letters
and diaries to official records.
In his first prose work Lewis reveals a rare and consummate
literary talent. Deeply rooted in his Welsh identity, this young
writer locates his own and his family's experience within the
wider European world in a thoughtful, mature and highly
original book.
