Boyhood

di David Keenan (Autore)

White Rabbit, 2026

Glasgow, 1979. A young boy is abducted outside a football ground. Seven years later. The boy's brother, Aaron Murray, is facing the final days of his youth. His own journey of grief and recovery has been guided by an angel, The Precious Gift - perhaps imagined, perhaps real - who has blessed Aaron with redemptive, messianic powers. These have enabled him to see through the past and present, joining the dots between a vast array of characters; ballerinas, soldiers, burlesque dancers, East End gangsters and the Vampire of Derry, all tied up in each other's fate. As Aaron's visions span cities and decades, from wartime Paris to the Troubles in the 1970s and Mexico City in the 1980s, Boyhood builds to an extraordinary, intense, climactic moment of redemption. A book of great joy, of laughter in the face of horror and delight in storytelling by the beloved and critically acclaimed author of This Is Memorial Device, Boyhood is a hymn to the resilience of youth, to the brave dreams of artists and lovers and a love letter to Glasgow - a city where magic happens.
