Her voice is a trigger, a voice which forces Neil to relive the crises and failures of his past - one which offers him the possibility of a positive new future. But before he can decide on what he wants the life ahead of him to look like - and her role in it - he must pass judgement on himself.


Ian Gouge's novels focus on individuals who are trying to come to terms with their histories, characters facing the challenge of legacies from which they have to find a way to free themselves.
