A tragic fall in the Karoo in which one of his brothers dies and
the other loses all memory of the day changes the life of young
John Hyde irrevocably. In London many years later, the reappearance
of his remaining brother disrupts the delicate life John has built,
and brings an unsettling recollection of the events that ripped
their family apart. Pulled back to South Africa in spite of
himself, John returns to the home he grew up in to face a past that
haunts him. In language pulled so tightly it sings, Alastair
Bruce’s Boy on the wire is an elegy to our fragile memory and the
lives entangled in it.
