Age of Innocence
Containing original genius, a tale of lost childhood innocence as a young boy finds his parents’ feet of clay. His best friend revealing a secret he’d promised to keep matches this sense of betrayal yet, at the end, the boy discovers the value of the true friendship that comes from shared experience and self-sacrifice.
Told from the point-of-view of rural children, into whose world we’re fully immersed from the outset. The age-old battle between parents and their offspring is represented by a terrible secret the adults strive to conceal, while their children’s innate curiosity and fearlessness eventually reveals all. As the children want parents they can admire, so the parents hope their children have nothing to reproach them for.
Unpredictable, yet inevitable, as all good thrillers should be; the conclusion is truly stunning.
