✦ Synopsis

When 14 year old Timothy�s parents are accidentally killed, he is sent to live with distant relatives in an alien rural Munster. The Phipps - mixed Protestant and Catholic - are faded gentry guarding their estate from decay, watching the inexorable eclipse of their 1930s world. There�s Miss Veronica, pillar of the house; her sister Philippa, slowly falling into madness; Flannery, shell-shocked painter of dubious integrity and erotic art; his debauched companions Bobo and Skipper; and warm loving Bridget, Timothy�s only friend. One long hot summer a young German and his mother step into this strange menagerie. Tall, beautiful and athletic, Alexander stirs Timothy�s lust, despite his mistrust of the burgeoning fascism Alexander reflects. And then violence, murder and betrayal precipitate a crisis that throws all asunder... The Pale Moon of Morning is a moving and powerful novel by the author of Shell, Sea Shell and Tenebrae.
