Guest

Samhain is a young, angry and bewildered squatter living in an abandoned hotel in the North of England. One day he receives a message: his father – a man he never knew – was an undercover policeman infiltrating the Green movement of the 80s. What's more, he finds out that he too is now a father. As Sam leaves for Europe, he pursues freedom and flees from his responsibilities. Responsibility, however, is hard to escape. Guest is a story of disillusionment, protest and, eventually, redemption.

But he did insist on driving him to their uncle's funeral. Consumed by guilt, Robert refuses to show emotion. And, when the ghost of his stillborn sister suggests his father caused their uncle's death, Robert recalls a childhood of resentment and abuse to try and make a truth he can live with. Every Fox is a Rabid Fox reflects issues of class, mental illness and how the unhappiness, depression and toxic masculinity of older generations is passed down to their children."-- Provided by publisher
