Description

In his late twenties, James finds his financial security and career as a photographer have conspired to shelter him from becoming close to his fellow human beings. He feels he should share more, but isn’t sure how. Others would provide the catalyst.

His salvation begins when he examines his late father’s effects and these arouse memories of a childhood in Kenya where sharing was common place.

Coincidentally, he is given an assignment in Kenya with a fellow professional, Pete, who is willing to share his own very different life. In Kenya a voice from the past provides a dramatic opportunity to engage.

Back in the UK, a superficial affair with a woman colleague blossoms into a more intense relationship.

Pete and James are given an assignment covering the millennium and James takes the opportunity to engage with his near neighbours.

Through these links James finds himself more engaged with the world. Will his newfound contacts encourage James to become a more rounded human being?

Featured Reviews

Reading this novel by David Griffiths was like discovering a long lost manuscript by Graham Greene. Both authors explore the moral and political conflicts of the modern world.
This narrative is both international and intimate. Set during the months leading up to the new millennium it allows a young photographer to look through his lens and see political corruption in high places. He soon finds himself threatened both in Kenya and London but in searching for answers he finds other things including himself.
There are many layers to this story. It explores grief and loss, fractured familial relationships, the loneliness of sex without love, and exchanging anonymity for friendship. It is a literary triumph.
