A loss, a reunion, an old house, noises. Members of a church youth group get together for a weekend, twenty years on. One is bereaved, one has an untold secret, one left the way, one holds on. And a silver birch tree springs a surprise.
You may be expecting comic cuts from an Adrian Plass book. Well, there is a vein of humour here, but much more than that. This is a well-written and shapely book, full of depth, feeling and faith.
Ghosts, skeletons, things around corners, a sensitive psychological novel and a wonderful piece of adult Christian fiction.
