About this Event
I heard voices talking last night. I've never heard my father talk to
someone else. Not that I can remember. I was in bed, and I heard my
father's voice first. He was talking to someone, and then I heard
another man with a deep voice. The man got angry, I could tell, even
though I couldn't hear exactly what he was saying. Then my father
said, 'I'd K*ll you first.'
On his eleventh birthday, Jacob's father gives him a diary. To write
about things that happen. About what he and his father do on their
farm. About the sheep, the crop, the fox and the dam. But Jacob
knows some things should not be written down. Some things should
not be rIemembered.
The only things he knows for sure is what his father has taught him.
Sheltered, protected, isolated. But who is his father protecting him
from? And how far will his father go to keep the world at bay?
All too soon, Jacob will learn that sometimes we all have to do
terrible things.
Books will be available to purchase and be signed on the night.
Limited numbers are in place for social distancing, so if you are then unable to attend please advise the Library as soon as possible.
