Insomnia, exhaustion, recurring nightmares Stephen Sharkey is suffering the aftereffects of his career as a war reporter, most recently in Afghanistan, where Ben Frobisher, war photographer and friend, has been shot dead on assignment. Hanging up his flak jacket and turning his back on the everyday reality of war, Stephen moves into a quiet and peaceful cottage in the north of England. It seems the perfect environment in which to write his book on the representations of war, one that will be based largely on Ben Frobisher's work. But Stephen's supposed isolation offers no protection from other people's suffering or the shattering effects of human brutality ...

Happy Reading!


18th May 05 - I really liked this book, although it was different to what I expected. I loved the tension both of the story and between the characters.

Caught the book in a cafe & couldn't put it down. Enchanted by the whole idea of 'releasing' books to live another life in the imagination of someone else.
Plan to pass the book onto an appreciative friend.
