内容説明
Friends since childhood, Norman and Lyn grow up as next-door neighbours in Herne Bay at the turn of the twentieth century. When Lyn is sent to manage a central North Island timber mill at the tender age of fourteen, Norman goes to visit him. There he is forced to confront a mysterious adult truth. Later, in their twenties, the two men commit an act so appalling that it ruptures their friendship for many years. In 1972 the elderly Norman meets a young woman in a pub. Burdened by the memory he must at long last assuage, he presses Bronwyn into becoming his unwilling confessor. Swimmers' Rope is a powerful novel about friendship, guilt and sex and our changing notions of loyalty and culpability. 'Johnson's writing is skilful, insightful, witty and she has a truly light touch.' - Margie Thomson, The New Zealand Herald 'Immensely satisfying, utterly believable, Music From A Distant Room is Stephanie Johnson in top form. She has written the year to date's best New Zealand novel' - Warwick Roger, North and South 'John Tomb's Head is a thought-provoking work, continually surprising, with many brilliant moments' - Iain Sharp, Sunday Star Times
