When successful author Gerald Candless dies of a sudden heart
attack, his eldest, adoring daughter Sarah embarks on a memoir of
him and soon discovers that her perfect father was not all he
appeared to be. That in fact he wasn't Gerald Candless at all. But
then, who was he? And what terrible secret had driven him to live a
lie for all those years?
'The Chimney Sweeper's Boy is about the power of taboos,
about transgressions, guilts, deceptions, horrors, atonements,
upsets and upheavals... worldly, intricate, confident and
gripping'
