Opis książki:
Brought up in the Angli - Welsh borders by an affectionate but alcoholic and feckless mother, Owen Ithells sense of self is rooted in his long, vivid visits to his grndparents small farm in the hills. There he is deeply impressed by his grandfathers primitive, cruel relationship with his animals and the land.
As an adult Owen moves away from the country of his childhood to an English city where he builds a new life, working as a gardener. He meets Mel, they have children. He believes he has found happiness - and love - of a sort.
But following a car accident, in which his daughter is killed and he loses a hand, the course of his life and the lives of those he loves is changed forever. Owen, unable to work, alienated and eventually legally separated from his family, is haunted by suicidal thoughts. In his despair, he resolves to reconnect with both his past and the natural world. Abducting his children, he embarks on a long, fateful journey, walking to the Welsh borders of his childhood.
