Dreams of Leaving Paperback
by Rupert Thomson
Paperback
Description
New Egypt is a village somewhere in the south of England.
A village that nobody has ever left. Peach, the sadistic chief of police, makes sure of that.
Then, one misty morning, a young couple secretly set their baby son Moses afloat on the river, in a basket made of rushes.
Years later, Moses is living above a nightclub, mixing with drug-dealers, thieves and topless waitresses.
He knows nothing about his past - but it is catching up with him nevertheless, and it threatens to put his life in danger.
Terror, magic and farce all have a part to play as the worlds of Peach and Moses slowly converge.
