The High Traverse

The High Traverse combines photographs, letters, images, and questions, questions, questions to depict the dying moments of a human. The reader is drawn onward by several mysteries: the elusive Miss Wright, a primary school teacher who still fills the dying man’s thoughts; the competition between the two brother; the role the father played in World War II-and not least, just who is it who is dying? The father? A brother? Or is some part of all three, and of the grandsons too, inevitably dying?
