Turn Us Again powerfully, painstakingly, and painfully explores a
difficult theme, effectively shifting perspectives to show multiple
sides of a shattered family history. Readers will find themselves
pulled into the darker side of love, partnership and family, the
part that usually comes after the movie ends. The writing here is
well crafted, developing the complex, complete characters that
drive the story heartward. It will stay with readers long after the
last page is turned. Chris Benjamin, author of Drive-by Saviours
and Eco-Innovators Called to his dying father s bedside, Gabriel
Golden s life is turned upside down after receiving his mother s
journal. The journal chronicles his mother s life in post-war
Britain, her genteel upbringing and her eventual marriage to
Gabriel s father, a complicated man raised in an aggressive, Jewish
family who drinks to escape financial worries. Gabriel is shocked
as the novel reveals dark secrets about his parents relationship,
shaking Gabriel s preconceptions about his father and himself.
Based on a true story and winner of the H.R. Percy Novel Prize and
the Beacon Award for Social Justice, Turn Us Again is a powerful
exploration of the dynamics within family relationships, enticing
the reader to embark on a journey towards a more complex
understanding of the issue of abuse.
