What the Children Saw (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this story, a father who is strongly attached to his young children finds himself estranged from their mother and tricked into entering a trap, and his major concern, now, is his children. "What did the children see? What did the young, impressionable children that he so loved, and who loved their father, see?" This is a tale of love, sex, power, and of the Indian Matriarchy (which you probably have never heard of), but mainly of children and fathers, and modern fatherhood. To quote a few paragraphs: "Nothing can be changed now. It is all over (except in the mind, in the conscience, in the universe of good and evil, where it can never be over). And though it is all over, and nothing can be changed, the story must be told. The story demands to be told. Because the truth is the truth is the truth. Let us not, as the years pass, fear to tell the truth, just because it is old, just because time has passed, just because all reality is ephemeral and life is short.
