Christopher Swann

    Christopher Swann sa zameriava na zložité vzťahy a morálne dilemy, často s dôrazom na južanské prostredie a jeho jedinečné tradície. Jeho písanie sa vyznačuje prenikavou psychológiou postáv a bohatým, atmosférickým jazykom. Swann majstrovsky skúma tému identity a zmyslu života, pričom jeho diela vyvolávajú hlboké zamyslenie. Autorov štýl je súčasne poetický aj priamočiary, čo čitateľom ponúka pútavý a nezabudnuteľný literárny zážitok.

      "Ethan Faulkner is a precocious child with a brilliant but troublesome sister, a war vet for a father, and a weary mother trying to manage their family. One night a young woman rings their doorbell, desperate to hide from two men who are pursuing her, when one of the two barges in after her. The struggle leaves both of Ethan's parents dead. Years later, Ethan has a successful teaching career and a budding relationship with a coworker. But he hasn't quite followed through on his promise to his dying father - to take care of his sister. Susannah is not an easy person to keep tabs on, is a handful even when the tabs are kept, and quite frankly, Ethan wants her to suffer for preventing him from getting to his dad before he died all those years ago. It was a long time ago and Ethan tries to put all of it behind him. But that's easier said than done. When news of a brutal murder breaks with evidence pointing to Ethan as the prime suspect, all the painful memories of his past come rushing to meet him"--Provided by publisher
