My Father & The Lost Legend of Pear Tree

‘NEVER REJECT YOUR OWN COMMUNITY NO MATTER WHAT FAULTS YOU FIND WITHIN IT.’

A son’s message in a obituary published by the Derby Evening Telegraph as he tries to come to terms with his father’s suicide. With the darkness looming he is thrust into a reaction by a reconnection with a ghostly pale face from the past who guides him on a journey of regeneration and discovery.

The Swan by Roald Dahl

"Some people, when they have taken too much and have been driven beyond the point of endurance, simply crumple and give up. There are others, though they are not many, who will for some reason always be unconquerable. You meet them in time of war and also in time of peace. They have an indomitable spirit and nothing, neither pain nor torture nor threat of death, will cause them to give up"

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill
