The Sailor In The Wardrobe

Following On From The Success Of The Speckled People, Hugo Hamiltons Memoir Recounts The Summer He Spent Working At A Local Harbour In Ireland, At A Time Of Tremendous Fear And Mistrust. Young Hugo Longs To Be Released From The Confused Identity He Has Inherited From His German Mother And Irish Father, But The Backdrop Of His Mothers Shame At The Hands Of Allied Soldiers In The Aftermath Of The Second World War, Along With His German Cousins Mysterious Disappearance Somewhere On The Irish West Coast And The Spiralling Troubles In The North, Seems Determined To Trap Him In History. In An Attempt To Break Of His Past, Hugo Rebels Against His Fathers Strict And Crusading Regime And Turns To The Exciting World Of Rock And Roll, Still A Taboo Subject In The Family Home.
