Middle-aged and short on prospects, Charles Wilson returns to
Trempes, the village of his childhood, and discovers the body of
his childhood friend, Paul Faber, hanging from a tree in the
clearing where they played as boys. Thus begins Wilson's obsessive
quest to exhume the secrets of his past and to understand the
reasons for his friend's death. But memories shift, people change
and things are never as they seem. Soon Wilson finds himself caught
up in a delusory spiral that threatens his very existence.
This is at once a neo-Gothic metaphysical thriller and a
meticulous meditation on the unapologetic betrayal of memory and
imagination. Wilson's story bubbles up from the faults between
mystery and fairy tale, brimming with characters haunted and
tortured by the past, where truth and deception are wound up in
time like the gnarled branches of old, grizzled trees.
