Roger McDonald

A novel which spans a lifetime and tells of the power of love and friendship. Tanner Hatton Finch is given a life-giving blow as a baby boy but there seems little promise in his life. He grows up wild in an isolated, windswept countryside, the child of misplaced artistic parents. Obsessed with fire and explosives he lies, cheats and steals his way through a childhood set on a course of opposition and destruction. When he meets Ruby his life is transformed, only to be changed absolutely with the appearance of Kel, a boy with a talent for loyalty and a love of knives. The author has written five novels including 'Slipstream', 'Water Man' and 'Rough Wallaby'.
