Description

England, 1950s. While out playing in the woods, ten-year-old Mark meets a man living in an old railway carriage.

Despite his wild appearance, the stranger, who introduces himself as Aubrey Hillyard, is captivating - an irreverent outsider who is shunned by Mark's fellow villagers, and a writer to boot.

Aubrey encourages Mark to tell stories about his own make-believe world, and in return he informs the boy about a novel he is writing - a work of ominous science fiction. As the meddling villagers plot to drive Aubrey out, Mark finds himself caught between two worlds - yet convinced that he must help Aubrey prevail at any cost.

Dealing with powerful themes of friendship, rebellion and betrayal, The Summer of Broken Stories is James Wilson's long-awaited new novel.
