Maggiori informazioni sul libro
It is two days after his father's death, and Davis Brand is beginning to suspect a cover-up. Dr John Brand was survived by two sons, the death notice said - so why are there three? Peacefully, it said, but there circustances of his death are murky in the extreme. The Test Match is being played at the Sydney Cricket Ground, near the Brand's house, and Davis's brother Chris, a famous cricketer, is batting to save his career. Their mother Margaret watches the match on TV, apparently inert in her armchair, and the unacknowledged brother, the banished Hammett, lurks in the background. Then John Brand's funeral, and the lives of his family, are all put on hold for the duration of the match - five days of suspense, silence, revelation, recrimination and redemption. This is a poignant story of a family's grief, a skilfully constructed thriller and a dissection of men's private passions filtered through two arenas of masculinity - sport and pornography.
