- Book Synopsis
- 2018 People's Book Prize Finalist Longlisted for the 2017 Guardian Not the Booker Prize Meet Sonny Anderson: budding author, ex-meth-head, neurotic and Shaun of the Dead obsessive. Sonny doesn't remember his mother because when he was five, his father kidnapped him from his home in Scotland and took him to live on a commune in the Brazilian outback. Since the age of eleven, he has lived in Southern California with his enigmatic guardian, Thomas - but on his twenty-first birthday he receives a gift that will throw his life wildly off course, all over again. Armed with five mysterious letters and a list of addresses, Sonny musters the courage to return to the UK and finally learn the truth about his childhood. As the story of his past unravels, though, he's less sure it's the truth he wants to hear.
