The Book of Guilt
The Book of Guilt

Shifting confessions unveil a family's secret burdens.

As you delve into "The Book of Guilt," you'll find yourself wrapped in a web where truth is a matter of perspective. Kym Lloyd has crafted a narrative that seductively peels back the layers of a family's facade, challenging you to weigh the guilt against the innocence with every turn of the page. Think of it as a literary puzzle, where each confession colors your understanding of the next.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Charting the destruction and ultimate resurrection of a family, an anonymous 'Father-Confessor' figure relays the 'confessions' of the Goode Phineas (a one-time bookshop owner) and Maggie (an artist), their daughters Gwynne and Viviane, and Allie Finlay, Phineas' exmistress...along with the sixth tale - of the dead Dr Jabz Reemie, etymologist and former mentor to Phineas, whose own part in the story is gradually revealed. As the stories interweave, they continually present a reinterpretation of each character's relative burden of guilt. Who is really guilty and what are they guilty of? It is Dr Reemie's tale, along with Viviane's recovered childhood memories, that reveal the dark secrets of Castle Keep.
