J. C. Burke

The Story Of Tom Brennan (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A tragic tale told with sensitivity and skill. Burke's latest novel is beautifully moody, with intense sorrow soothed by instances of love and humour. The story is immediately alluring . . . Burke has delicately crafted the story to give only a little at a time, building up the intensity and creating a palpable sense of the Brennan family's grief, shame and confusion.
