Synopsis
Shortlisted for the Young Lions Fiction Award 2015
Set on a remote Scottish island, this is the compelling story of one family’s struggle to cope with a vanishing way of life
On Eilean Fìor, a small island off the north-west coast of Scotland with twenty-eight inhabitants, the McClouds run a faltering guesthouse. A family business, it is expected that one of the three children will eventually take over. But Barry, Flora and Trevor all have their own ideas.
In this nuanced and moving debut novel, Andrew Ladd weaves together a series of conjoined narratives which follow each of the McClouds as they struggle to find a balance between their feelings of obligation and their desire for personal freedom. At once a lyrically haunting and unforgettable elegy for a lost world, What Ends is also a subtle family saga about change and regret – about the difference between feeling one is trapped and the reality of being so.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. In 1980, the McCloud family welcomes Trevor, their third child and the last to be born on Eilean Fior, a small island off the west coast of Scotland. Life there, on the eve of Trevor's birth, is grim: the population, once in the hundreds, now hovers around thirty, as most of the island's inhabitants have left for the mainland. But the McClouds stubbornly maintain their guesthouse, despite their trouble turning a profit and their children's lack of interest in taking over the family business. As soon as he is of age Barry - the eldest son - flees the island, abandoning his siblings and rejecting the culture and traditions he was brought up with. After Flora, the only daughter, finishes art school, she returns to Eilean Fior, resigned to her familial responsibilities. By the time Trevor is grown up, there is no place for ambivalence as the forces of time lock the McClouds into their way of life and out of any other. 272 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 1602086
