Publisher's Synopsis
Davey is in the attic when the militia comes. At 16, he's almost the man his father wants him to be, and almost the child he was. Locked in shock, he is barely aware that, beneath him, his parents have been murdered and his family's farm, Edenfields, "reclaimed". The neighbouring farmers - his parents's closest friends - take him in and try to care for him, try to bring him back into their community of normality: the club, the church and after a few weeks, his boarding school. They try to cope. But Davey is on a different path. One night he escapes from his school and embarks on a harrowing, terrifying journey across Africa, home to Edenfields, looking for redemption.
