The Postcard Diaries

Welsh contemporary fiction. 'When I was twenty years old my whole world came tumbling down. I committed an act that would haunt me for the rest of my life, something that would change my world beyond recognition. I call it the 'event', and after the 'event' I was left with no choice but to run and hide, to make myself very scarce.' An old man recounts the tale of his strange life spent high in the mountains that overlook the world. He is haunted by the memories of a golden age, and of what he did, one foolish act that culminated in the destruction of everything he'd ever known. His only hope lies in the return of the enigmatic Jack Trent, the holder of the key that will release him from the strange world he appears to have created, but time is fast running out.
