Product Description
Dorian Creannon is just a boy despite his twenty years, living in the small coastal town of Kilnamara in 1965. Due to circumstances beyond Dory's control he is an outcast, a pariah. He is despised for many reasons, first and foremost of which is the shadow cast by the suicide of his mother while he was still a child; and secondly due to the moral stain cast by his illegitimate lineage.But Dorian's life is not without hope. Raised under the harsh eye of his grandmother, and the softer affections of Abigail and Andy Murry, a middle aged couple themselves childless, Dorian enters into the setting of our story as a well mannered if not lonely soul. But shortly a change is put in front of Dorian. A chance to make a new friend. Albeit in a close town of prying eyes, fearful of change, and long to forget the scandals of long ago.A tour in human relationships, an exploration of loss, grief, regret and stigma. A Shadow upon the Harbour is as much a tale of Dorian, as it is about those around him and the small town that binds them all. Through the town of Kilnamara the winds of change have been blowing, but has change come quick enough?
