Forlagsbeskrivelse af This, My Second Life af Patrick Charnley
Twenty-year-old Jago Trevarno is living a simple life in Cornwall with his uncle following a life-changing brain injury. Slowly adjusting to the reality of his new life, he gets caught up in the murky world of local villain, Bill Sligo, who appears to have designs on Jago’s uncle’s farm and in particular a field. Jago determines to find out why Bill Sligo wants the field – and in so doing puts his own life in grave danger. Beautifully written, spare and elegiac, filled with shafts of light and darkness as well as the beauty and harshness of the Cornish landscape, Jago’s journey is one of hope, acceptance and of resilience as he comes to terms with this, his second life.
