Rural Trinidad: a brick house on stilts surrounded by bush; a family, quietly surviving, just trying to live a decent life. Clyde, the father, works long, exhausting shifts at a petroleum plant; Joy, his wife, looks after the home. Their two sons, thirteen years old, wake early every morning to travel to the capital, Port of Spain, for school. They are twins but nothing alike: Paul has always been considered odd, while Peter is widely believed to be a genius, destined for greatness.When Paul goes walking in the bush one afternoon and doesn't come home, Clyde is forced to go looking for him, this child who has caused him endless trouble already, and whom he has never really understood. As the hours turn into days, everything he has understood about his family and his country is turned upside down-leaving him with a decision no parent should ever have to make.Claire Adam's devastating first novel casts its spell with wisdom and compassion. It brings us an epic story of aspiration, betrayal, and love.
