| Summary: | "Dark secrets are revealed, love is found, and courage is restored. On a hot June day in 1965, two six-year-old boys, Gareth and Jack, compete to see who can climb higher up a tree. When Jack falls and loses his eye on a thorn bush, the accident brings about a series of events that will bind the boys together for the rest of their lives. When the best friends meet the albino twins Clara and Blanca, a shared fate unfolds. Trapped in a world of questionable beginnings, the twins must face horrific truths before they can claim their lives and leave their past behind them. From the shores of Lake Ontario to the hustle of Berlin, from the art of oculary to punk opera, from the first 3D movies to international journalism, this is a ride that takes readers in every possible direction until they end up exactly where they should be."-- |
