Shroud : Book

Axel Vander, celebrated academic and man of culture, is spending his twilight years on the west coast of America. For decades, he has lived with the knowledge of a tragedy of which he was both perpetrator and victim. Now, out of the blue, a letter arrives hinting at the secrets he has been hiding for fifty years. To find out just how much the writer knows about his past Vander arranges to meet her in Turin. But he is thrown into emotional turmoil by this encounter with Cass Cleave, a deeply troubled young woman desperate to discover a reason to continue living; and the meeting of the two leads inexorably towards disaster. Written in Banville's faultless, almost painfully beautiful prose, "Shroud" is a novel which is not afraid to ask deep questions, nor to answer them emphatically.Read More
