This is a startling breakthough novel from Jonathan Buckley,
acclaimed author of Ghost MacIndoe and So He Takes the Dog. It will
be up for every prize going: a gripping, utterly compelling book
whose themes hit home and hard for the baby boom generation.
Dominic Pattison's life is one of level contentment: his marriage
has proved happy and durable; his business, too, is successful.And
then Sam Williams, a builder and ex-squaddie, enters his life. Sam
claims to be his son. Yet is Sam who he says he is? After almost
thirty years, Dominic can remember little of the affair with Sam's
mother. His instinct is to recoil from this aggressive and volatile
stranger, who could, with just a few words, take his life apart.
But Sam refuses to be dismissed. With its deft switches of sympathy
between menaced 'father' and rebuffed 'son' and its exploration of
the intricacies of memory, Contact will resonate long with its
readers.
