Description

Guilt, secrets, and lies haunt two men whose lives are bound by a long-ago tragedy in this ';riveting' novel by the author of The Sea, The Sea (Los Angeles Times).

Twenty years ago, Hilary Burde's story was one of remarkable success and enviable courage. Having brought himself out of a troubled childhood with only his intellect and wit, he was one of the most promising scholars at Oxford, a student with a rare talent for linguistics and an unquenchable drive. Until the accident.

Now, forty-one and a decidedly ordinary failure, Hilary finds his quietly angry routine shattered when his old professor reappears in his lifea man whose own demons are tied to Hilary's and the tragedy from years ago. As the two men begin to circle each other once again, digging up old wrongs and seeking forgiveness for long-buried ills, they find themselves on a path that will either grant them both redemption or destroy them both forever.

Haunting and emotional, A Word Child is an intimate look at the madness of regret by the Man Booker Prizewinning author of Under the Net and A Severed Head.
