A stark, eye-opening and exquisitely poignant new novel spanning
the globe and probing the issues that define our times. As a young
man comes to terms with his father's death, he is forced to face
his own demons, and confront the possibility of change... 'This is
a remarkably well-written, sophisticated novel in which the people
and places all come alive on the page...' Literary Review 'Searing
... at times achieves the level of genuine poetry' Publishers
Weekly Ethan Scofield returns to the place of his birth to bury his
father. Hidden in one of the upstairs rooms of the old man's house
he finds a strange manuscript, a collection of stories that seems
to cover the whole of his father's turbulent life. As his own life
starts to unravel, Ethan works his way through the manuscript,
trying to find answers to the mysteries that have plagued him since
he was a child. What happened to his little brother? Why was his
mother taken from him? And why, in the end, when there was no one
else left, did his own father push him away? Swinging from the
coral cays of the Caribbean to the dangerous deserts of Yemen and
the wild rivers of Africa, Turbulent Wake is a bewitching, powerful
and deeply moving story of love and loss ... of the indelible
damage we do to those closest to us and, ultimately, of the power
of redemption in a time of change. 'The quality of Hardisty's
writing and the underlying truth of his plots sets this above many
other thrillers' West Australia 'Turbulent Wake is moving, it
caused me to ache deep inside, oh, and it is also a rather
beautiful read too' LoveReading 'The writing is sublime! SO
