Sinossi
A Dynmouth tutto è pulito, elegante: case linde, chiese e scuole, un piccolo porto. E una vita ordinata e sonnacchiosa, che si anima solo in occasione di qualche festività. Eppure, qualcuno sta per sconvolgerla. Non un efferato criminale, ma un ragazzino, Timothy Gedge, che ha un progetto innocente solo in apparenza: organizzare uno spettacolo per l’annuale festa pasquale della parrocchia. Per attuarlo Timothy è disposto a tutto: sotterfugi, ricatti, intrusioni nella vita privata degli altri. E la vita privata di molti, a Dynmouth, non è improntata a una severa morale. Nessuno vuole scavare in profondità, perché ognuno ha un segreto da nascondere...

Having worked with adolescents for more than 30 years it is fair to say that I've come across a few strange ones. Such is the subject of Trevor's novel. I have always thought it difficult to write about that age group and portray it accurately, but Trevor does an excellent job here. I prefer to see
I really enjoyed this - it's a really interesting and creepy exploration of village life in a small and claustrophobic place. The writing was great and the characterisation and atmosphere so well done.
