Invisible Years

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

'It's impossible to get a single answer from the past. It's not a key to anything. It's just a place we go to trick ourselves.'

Andrea and Julian haven't seen one another in twenty-one years - not since that tragic, fateful night their senior year of high school that marked their group of friends forever. A shocking phone call brings the two together again in Houston, where they begin to unravel the truth of that year, picking open long scabbed-over wounds from their upper-class adolescence in 1990s Bolivia and the scandal that ripped them apart.

A writer unhappy in his career and his marriage, Julian has been novelising the past for his next book, trying to make meaning out of the events that changed the course of their lives forever. 'I'd thought that writing about that time would free me, relieve the burden of the invisible years', he writes, 'but often it seems that it's done the reverse.' Juxtaposing the naive invincibility of adolescence with the grasping uncertainties of adulthood, The Invisible Years deftly weaves a coming-of-age tale that leaves the reader hanging on every word, even as they know how the cards fall in the end.
