Sinopsis
John Banvilles Ancient Light is a story of obsessive young love and the power of grief
Billy Gray was my best friend and I fell in love with his mother.
In a small town in 1950s Ireland a fifteen-year-old boy has illicit meetings with a thirty-five-year-old woman - in the back of her car on sunny mornings, and in a rundown cottage in the country on rain-soaked afternoons. Unsure why she has chosen him, he becomes obsessed and tormented by this first love. Half a century later, actor Alexander Cleave - grieving for the recent loss of his daughter - recalls these trysts, trying to make sense of the boy he was and of the needs and frailties of the human heart.
Praise for Ancient Light:
Brilliant. Banville excels in his brightly lit descriptions of self-absorbed teenage lust, Guardian
Dazzling . . . captures a long-lost adolescent world of passion and desire, Independent
Banville perfectly captures the spirit of adolescence ... This is a luminous breathtaking work, Independent on Sunday
