Résumé

Nobody is innocent, nobody tells the truth... Perhaps, in the darkness, Ralph thinks of the other child, the child he killed all those years ago.  But he will not say so.  He was little more than a child himself, when he went to prison for it.  He has served his time.  He is older now.   And the world has moved on. Only his ailing mother - whose life he has ruined, who wishes he had been hanged  - knows that he is out.  She will not speak of him.
 Nobody wants him. Nobody except Mary, a little girl from outside the village, who meets him one afternoon after chasing his mother's cat.  Perhaps he thinks of the other child then, but he will not say so.  There is really no connection. The other child had been beautiful, which Mary wasn't.  The other child wanted everything, whereas Mary wants nothing - only his friendship. Everyone needs a friend.  What could be the harm in that?

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Carly Rheilan

Carly Rheilan was born in Malta and lives in the UK.  She was educated in Oxford University (which she hated and left) and then at Brunel (a fine small-town technological university where she stayed for a PhD). She is a psychiatric nurse.  She has done research in criminal justice and taught in universities.  She has children of her own and has also fostered two children with mental health problems.
She has worked many years in the NHS. Her novels address issues at the edges of psychiatry, crime and personal trauma. Carly Rheilan is a shy person.  If you want an image of her, you could picture her working late into the night in the rain of an English village, in a conservatory full of tropical plants, hunched over a computer and drinking too much coffee.  When not working or writing, she spends time with family, rages against the politics of her unequal country, and battles against acres of nettles in a community garden.
