Outstanding' Mail on Sunday'A spectacular novel' SpectatorWhen Tom was eight years old, his father took a shotgun and shot his family: his wife, his son and baby daughter, before turning the gun on himself. Only Tom survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe left his tiny, shocked community on the island of Litta and the strained silence of his Uncle Malcolm's house while still a young boy. For twenty years he's tried to escape his past. Until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout knowing how to ask, he needs answers - from his uncle, who should have known. From his neighbours, who think his father a decent man who 'just snapped'. From the memories that haunt the wild landscape of the Hebrides. And from the silent ones who know more about what happened - and why - than they have ever dared admit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy turns gripping, beautiful, devastating and tender, Our Fathers is a story about violence and redemption, control and love. With understated compassion and humour, Rebecca Wait gives a voice to the silenced and to the silences between men of few words.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rebecca Wait","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57548678168901,"sku":"9781529400069","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9781529400069.jpg?v=1774887242","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9781529400069","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
