Disillusioned and depressed, Gregory Worthington sets off from
Perth in search of inspiration. He arrives in Malta full of resolve
to reignite a flagging writing career. Quaint surroundings, the
potential of a love affair, and the antics and warm-heartedness of
villagers he befriends fuel his imagination, but his writing brings
him more disquiet and confusion than it is worth. What is
inspiration, and what is the reality behind the disappearance of
little Censinu Mifsud, a ten year-old boy who was never found?
There is a secret in the village, one Worthington resolves to
unravel, to turn into a novel, despite warnings from a retired
doctor and antagonistic parish priest. They are ambiguous about his
involvement with a young Maltese woman, but are very clear about
one thing: the author has no business nosing around his old rented
farmhouse, looking for clues and disturbing the past. Poignant and
moving, punctuated by comical scenes and passionate interludes,
"Death in Malta" is a powerful novel of love and loss,
disappointment and dislocation - curiosity and consequences.
