Synopsis

WHAT IF YOU LIVED IN A WORLD THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD BUT YOU?

An autistic young man’s wretched, bullied existence is transformed when he discovers a strange boarded-up house in the country and gets to know its even stranger inhabitant.

When lured off a planned walk by the magical landscape, Spencer finds his ‘pot of gold’ in a boarded-up house with its strange inhabitant, a young woman called Goldy. A strange angel, who wears black and squats in derelict buildings, she becomes a guiding light in Spencer’s lonely existence.

But back on the estate where he lives, evil lurks in the form of a ruthless gang of bullying teenagers. Can he escape to a better life or does Goldy, and all she promises, sparkle with false lustre?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Art school graduate, Adrian grew up in Surrey and relocated to Glasgow to nurture his dark-humoured, moody and melancholic writing style. His work has centred on the struggles and the misfortunes of grubby outsider-misfits, often featuring supernatural realms rubbing shoulders with banality and intense, questing desire. His unique voice combines rich, imaginative ideas, a delight in verbal felicity and flawed characters; coupled with themes of isolation, internalization, acceptance and the search for truth.
