A Visit Home

Will Aitken

4.9/5 (14461 ratings)

Description:It began with the death of a friend - actually more of an acquaintance, which made it all the more disturbing for its irrationality. It continued in little ways, little disturbances, provoking his anger, upsetting the well-honed rhythm of his daily life. Daniel tried to understand, tried to figure out the cause for this upheaval. His life was good. He loved his wife, had a happy marriage complete with two stepsons. He even found his job to be generally satisfying. Still, something was wrong. And then he remembered. It didn't come back to him at once, but in small, knife-like thrusts. Associations, memories, reminders, gathering around him. Pictures. Sounds. A phrase of music, a moment in a film. Memories of pain, of dislocation, of shame. Mental pictures of a child, a young boy. Memories of the things that were done to him. But why? And who? The little boy was himself, of course, and little by little he came to understand. The things that he was remembering weren't fantasies, but truths - terrible truths - wrapped in years of denial. Daniel was indeed the little boy, and the man who stole his childhood was his father. A Visit Home is the compelling, disturbing story of a man's awakening to the reality of incest, to truths long buried, to wounds that have refused to heal. As Daniel returns home to see his parents, to address the past so that he can get on with his life, he confronts even more painful realities - a father who won't deal with his son's reawakened memories; a mother who refuses to understand. A Visit Home is a novel of great emotional power and depth, told with absolute honesty, a story at once unsettling and life-affirming.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
