Beskrivning
Antietam (Andy) Brown - named for the great-great-grandfather who died on that Civil War battleground - was ten years old when he killed his abusive foster father. Now, after seven years in reform school, he is free to make a new start. But he is immediately thrust into the violent and debased life of his real father (known as Tietam) - an oddly charismatic man who seems addicted to bodybuilding, beer-swilling and 'bareback riding'. Swimming through a morass of crudity and violence, Andy is stunned to find himself pursued by the high school homecoming queen - a born-again Christian. Obsessed with the idea of offering his girlfriend a pure love and driven to find out whether he's descended from a monster or a hero, Andy searches for the truth in the dangerous currents of his father's past and present.

A novel of immense power and subtlety" Guardian "Take JD Salinger, throw in a bit of Dostoevsky, sprinkle with Bret Easton Ellis, and you're getting there" Guardian "Foley brilliantly charts the young Andy's emotional deprivation and the adolescent Andy's romantic confusion" Daily Mail "Raw, funny and moving stuff. Drop your preconceptions on entry and enjoy a real book by a real writer" Big Issue "You'll be gripped by this great read" Daily Mirror
