A propos de cet article

Paperback. "I've come here to remember. Except I cannot remember someone I never knew. I can only try to connect to the past, through his remains.There's a lawn and an oak tree. The earth has been turned and churned and sown and resown with grass seed. But his ashes, they assured me, are buried in the section in front of me.This is the closest I've come, physically, to Stanley. I get up from my bench and walk towards the oak tree. I stand under it and spread out my arms.His ashes are here, woven into the roots of the tree. The roots have reached down, stitched themselves into the earth that bears his ashes, have nourished themselves and their tree with his atoms.It's a mysterious and beautiful thought."-----In 1959, Stanley Bishop is "Britain's number one crime reporter".He's Jane Cottingham's grandfather, but she never met him. Fifty years after his death, she embarks on a search to find out who he really was.Teasing out facts from newspaper archives and family memories, she constructs a fictional picture of her grandfather through four episodes from his life - the chase across the Atlantic to catch murderer Crippen, an investigation of a Swiss biologist who claims to have invented a cure for tuberculosis in Geneva, the explosion in the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 which he narrowly escapes, and the demise of the last fiercely independent newspaper, the News Chronicle in 1960. She guides us through five decades of his reporting and British journalism, interwoven with his failed marriage, gradually unravelling the story of why she never met him. Jane embarks on an investigative search to discover who her grandfather really was. This item is printed on demand.
