Julie Frayn

    Julie Fraynová píše ocenené romány a poviedky, ktoré majú silu. A pár bodnutí. Vo svojom voľnom čase Julie trávi čo najviac času so svojimi deťmi, hoci sú už dospelé. V detstve vynikala v matematike a písaní a mala umelecké nadanie. Po škole bola rozpoltená medzi umením a praktickejšou kariérou, nakoniec dala prednosť číslam. Cez deň počítajú kalórie, ale stále nachádza potešenie v písanom slove, čo sa odráža v jej literárnych dielach.

      Finnegan MacGillivray, red-haired, freckle-faced social pariah, finds solace in his mother's garden, while she entertains "dates" in his home. When an accident takes the life of a friend, Finnegan buries the evidence amid the purple dead nettle and bougainvillea, and unearths a treasure trove of human remains. Did his house rest atop an ancient burial ground? Or was there a killer tucking him into bed at night? His fascination with bones grows as fast as his obsession with his mother. She rejects his advances, and he escapes to the other side of the country. Years later, he returns to his childhood home, to the secrets and the guilt and the bones — and to fulfil his destiny.
