The Burden: A Family Saga
內容簡介
Frank is a reformed alcoholic. He lives at home with his mother, Elisabeth – at least, he did until she went into a nursing home suffering from dementia. He is devoted to her and
conversely hates his estranged father, Geoffrey. So when elder sister Pat calls to tell him Dad is dying and wants to meet him, Frank is forced to face up to his demons. But what are they? And
how did he acquire them? Every family has its secrets and Frank’s is no exception. As much as he tries to forget, something happened a long time ago that has coloured his life ever since - and
he can’t live in peace until he confronts it. Seen from the perspective of four separate family members, The Burden examines an individual’s contrasting relationships and the different emotions
they inspire.
