✦ Synopsis

From the British novelist, this Tony Award -winning drama of family secrets delivers "brilliantly effective . . . enormously provocative . . . theatrical suspense" (New York Post).
The Callifer family has assembled in the English country home of Wild Grove where its patriarch--a once-renowned rationalist and man of letters--nears death. Arriving unexpectedly to pay his respects is his son, James, a pariah among the Callifers, who finds a dark veil still drawn over his mysterious childhood. It was decades ago, when James was fourteen, that something happened to him in the garden shed, a black hole in his memories. For everyone else, it's an unforgettable source of unease--and for some, unforgiveable. To discover the truth, James seeks out his ostracized uncle, an alcoholic priest with nothing left to lose.
