Arriving at Alder Ferry in 1974 was just another stop and the story centers around this town, Aubrey Worthington, Alton Mackay known as Tommy, a solitary oak tree and a stand of alders. It is in this stand of Alder trees that Aubrey and Tommy find refuge from their daily struggles. It is in this environment that the writing soars. Hate, violence, brutality, child abuse, betrayal, are all in this book. I hoped for more humanity, compassion, and understanding.
It took me longer to finish this book than I thought possible, but I attribute that to the depth of the writing. I savored the words and descriptions. The writing is very good with beautiful, mellifluous descriptions. The story is just too painful.
Thank you NetGalley, HA Callum and Sunbury Press for a copy.
