Description

"The Tower is where Nain found the old miller hanging on the eve of the second war like one of his old floury smocks from the rafters. Jack Cucu, back from Burma with more than the fever in his brain was its sentinel. Jack's son, together with his sweetheart scared themselves silly there in the days before the place and his place in her heart went cold. And now the tower's getting tarted up for Derrick Dallas by Bachie and his mates from the cowboy construction outfit, on their days off from dropping mushies down The George." "A tower on an island in north Wales: love, loss, haunting absences and dispossession...a landscape also coloured by clan and community, bound by lines of blood and story cast across the generations."--BOOK JACKET.
