商品簡介

商品簡介

Finn Kenny arrived at Spencerwood a man in disgrace. His job and life in Ottawa broken by the RCMP purges of the late 1950's, searching for homosexuals and communists--in their eyes one and the same--working for the Canadian government and therefore spying for the Soviets. A casual acquaintance of BC lumber magnate Theodore Spencer, Finn would occasionally advise Ted on his business over a drink, and so when Finn had nowhere else to go and Ted offered him a job and place to stay on Vancouver Island, what choice did Finn have? A few years later, in November 1963, Finn's quiet life is turned upside down by Ted's unexpected death and the assentation of Lady Spencer, Ted's cold and highly-intelligent socialite wife to the seat of president of Spencer Industries and sole head of the Spencerwood Estate, with every intension of firing and evicting Finn. Lady Spencer, to whom the friendship of her late husband and his arborist/driver was unfathomable, is shocked to learn that Ted has taken measures to prevent this. The fight is on, and the Bishops, devoted caretakers, and conscience of the estate, struggle to keep it all together. As Finn and Lady Spencer are thrown together in circumstances beyond their control, they are faced with the worst of each other and yet, slowly, begin to see clearly the lies and half-truths they have each carefully constructed to protect themselves against their own pasts. They come to terms with the truth that everyone has secrets buried at the centre of themselves- even, and perhaps especially, Theodore Spencer. In his searching sixth novel, Danial Neil asks questions about the stories we tell of our own lives, how and when we are able to show who we truly are to those around us, and the ways in which we always are more similar than we are different.
