Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Home Coming When Luis Huddleston came to Ireleth in the clear September evening, it was in no spirit of pleasant greeting or of old association. Rather, he felt himself deliberately marooned, cast away and abandoned for all time. He stood, for a moment, looking along the level mile to Fallowfield Bridge, raised like a door between him and what lay beyond. A door shut in his face, and the face of his desire; for beyond was the life which he had known and loved, and all the glamour of the south. He was met at the station by his brother Rowland, a short, thin, nervous man, over fifty years of age, with a clipped grey beard and kindly, restless eyes. He was talking chattily to a porter when the train drew up, and he went on talking chattily as he grasped his brother´s hand. Luis answered in courteous but abbreviated replies, across a barrier of long separation, different experience, outlook, and thought. Eldest and youngest, with more than twenty years between them, they were, to all intents and purposes, complete strangers. From the very first they had been swept apart. While Rowly stayed on the family place, training for his father´s shoes, Luis, motherless at two years old, had gone to his grandmother in Kent.
