Description

"Though it is only eight o'clock in the morning, he already knows there is a good chance he will have killed himself before the afternoon is out."The man at the pitiless heart of this novel is without any redeeming quality; so featureless he doesn't even warrant a name, and yet from the very beginning there's something about him, a faint, almost indiscernible incongruity which ignites the curiosity. Questions need to be answered.After cheating an agonising death in the bloodiest of all wars by using the tricks of invisibility his mother taught him as a boy, he returns home to find she has died. Seemingly unscathed, he quickly picks up the routine of his former life and settles to a regimented existence of scrupulous detachment from a world, not of his making.Years later, during a long hot summer, he begins to notice a beautiful and voluptuous young woman on his routine walk to work and makes her his reward in one last, fateful game as a swan song to his mother's tyranny.On the very threshold of freedom, the point of release, he dies. With his death, the story of his life can be revealed and it is then perhaps you realise everything is not as it seems.Swell is compelling and provocative, a story of deception and manipulation. It tells of twisted love and the dispassionate hand of fate, the spiralling deviance of a mother's games and her relentless controlling even from beyond the grave. It's a tale for the 21st Century yet the prose transports the sense of a grainy black and white movie, a Romance Noir, with its stark imagery and poignant comic drama drenched with connotation.By the end, when all is said and done, at least one question remains unanswered.
