Produktinformationen zu „The Trout (ePub)“
At the heart of every life there lies a secret.
Alex Smyth, of Irish birth but living for many years with his wife in rural Canada, receives a trout fly in the mail, with no message and no return address. It stirs a fear that he is being stalked after the publication of his most recent book, and it awakens in him deeply buried, inchoate memories from his childhood in Ireland, before he was old enough to understand the adult world around him. It also evokes the guilt that he may have murdered a man, a feeling so strong it changes him and threatens his marriage. Alex has no choice but to return alone to Ireland and his estranged father, to try and begin to solve the mystery.
A novel of great literary beauty structured as a tense psychological thriller, The Trout is a tale of predators and prey, deception, and the hidden crimes that can shape a life. Alex's physician father loved to fish and imbued in him a deep knowledge of the sport. In brief passages, this fisherman's lore periodically comes to the surface and resonates deeply with the dark mystery at the core of the novel.

Pressezitat
“Cunningham . . . knows how to tell an absorbing and intricate story. The charm of this novel, which has metaphorical fly-fishing advice woven through its pages, lies in beautifully rendered observations of small, still moments . . . Cunningham is a writer who knows exactly how to cast line after line with a deftness and grace that summon the truth from the depths of the past up to the surface.” —The New York Times“A superbly crafted psychological thriller . . . Packed with canny and uncanny insight, The Trout grows into a mesmerizing read.” —Dermot Bolger, author of An Ark of Light
‘A poet walks through these pages weaving time past and time present into sadness and grace.” —Paul Lynch, author of Red Sky in the Morning
“[A] thoughtful, exquisitely told tale.” —Publishers Weekly
“A well-crafted, crisply written, gripping story.” —Irish Times
