Summary
Returning to the bleak and beautiful Dartmoor village where he grew up, Gabriel attempts to come to terms with what he lost, long ago; haunted by his boyhood friend Michael, the tenderness of their first summers and the violent betrayal that destroyed it. But as the mysteries of the past unravel, a stranger, seeking solace, becomes bound in with Gabriel’s search for acceptance and love.
