Description

Hugh Arkwright's remote childhood in the Central African bush, and its sudden disruption, leaves him with a legacy of magic, mystery, and tragic loss.

Late in his life, he returns to the gaunt house in Ulverton where he was brought up by his eccentric uncle, and finds that the old ghosts still walk.

The more he excavates his own past, the deeper he finds the traces of ancient horrors.

The autumnal air of Ulverton begins to take on the taint of corruption, and a mystery starts that ends with vengeance, murder and a sudden, staggering revelation.

The mild English manners of the village of darkness beneath the heart of oak.

PIECES OF LIGHT is a modern novel steeped in a resonant past; where rural England and colonial Africa collide.

Densely wrought and vividly imagined, Adam Thorpe's return to Ulverton is a fictional triumph - thrilling and unforgettable.
