The Elements

John Boyne

£10.99


Human life is governed by the elements - water, earth, fire and air. They are fundamental to our existence. They sustain us, but they also challenge us. In 'The Elements', John Boyne has created a vivid kaleidoscope to reflect that contradiction: a quartet of intertwined narratives, each providing a different perspective on cause and effect from the points of view of the enabler, the accomplice, the perpetrator and the victim. From a mother on the run from her past, to a young football star on trial, a successful surgeon grappling with childhood trauma, and finally a father on a transformative journey with his son, the four strands weave together to form a tapestry of intersecting lives.
