Quatrième de couverture
'It has a power beyond its pages; a haunting resonance between each stark sentence that stayed with me long after I'd turned the final page...The delicate balance between kindness and bitterness, hope and despair, a dying man and a dying town, are almost unbearably poignant. This is a short book that will live long in the memory' Rebecca Armstrong, Independent on Sunday
Tommy Carr was a kind man; Eve had been able to tell that within half an hour of knowing him. There was never a day when he didn't show her some small kindness and even after the tragic death of their young daughter, their relationship remained as strong as before. Grief takes its toll however, and it's not surprising that by the following Christmas, Tommy is a shadow of his former self, with the look of death upon him.
But what happens next is entirely unexpected, not least for the kind man...
'Sometimes a piece of writing is so pure, so true, it is almost painful to read...[a] haunting, exquisitely told tale' Lucy Beresford, Sunday Telegraph
'Hill can evoke a setting, convey the essence of a situation and let one see into the inmost hearts of her characters in a single paragraph or sentence' Spectator
'Hill's writing here is superb, conveying emotion and pain in the sparest of prose' Literary Review
Biographie de l'auteur
Susan Hill's novels and short stories have won the Whitbread, Somerset Maugham and John Llewellyn Rhys awards and been shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Her books are set texts for GCSEs and A-levels. A Kind Man belongs to a genre that she has made her own: literary novellas which are short yet punchy, full of menace and feeling, and which include the critically acclaimed The Beacon and bestselling ghost stories The Woman in Black, The Man in the Picture and The Small Hand. She is also author of the Simon Serrailler crime series, and recently published a bestselling memoir of reading, Howard's End is on the Landing. Susan Hill lives in Gloucestershire, where she runs her own small publishing firm, Long Barn Books.
