ABOUT
THE BOOK
|
|
Clive
has died young and in Peru and the circumstances make some of his friends
uneasy. The congregation that gathers for his memorial service is unexpectedly
distinguished and includes many well-known faces and household names.
How come they knew Clive? Why does his death make so many of them anxious?
The vicar taking the service is in a quandary too, since her was a friend
of Clive and knew the kind of life he led. What can he say?
