The Quality of Light by Christopher Kenworthy
Have you ever been in a room where people have been arguing? You can feel the anger hanging in the air. If you know how to look, you can see the damage they've caused. On the edge of England, four amateur pilots feel their senses awakening. Marcus follows drunks, searching for clues in their speeches. Patrick drives on empty, finding new places when he runs out of fuel. Nicola gives up her old life in order to fly. And Katie, barely out of school, begins seeing things that shouldn?t be possible. In a town where the poverty is as hard as the violence, they harvest the pain that others leave behind. But is this an act of healing or greed? And who is the stranger stealing pain for a secret purpose? Visually stunning, tense and surreal, The Quality of Light is a love story set in a world of heightened realism. It emphatically fulfills the promise of Christopher Kenworthy?s The Winter Inside.
?Kenworthy is one of our best and most versatile imaginative writers.. His invention is matched only by his gift for character, his humanity and his ability to draw you, quietly and cleverly into his fascinating and original stories. He is a writer of substantial gifts' Michael Moorcock ?A compelling story of young people in extremis and their different strategies for making sense of the world. It?s a turbulent flight of the imagination that bears all the hallmarks of a cult classic? Nicholas Royle ?A curious and powerful novel. Magic and rage among people trapped in the sticky residues of their own needs? M. John Harrison
