A modern ghost story. The Globe and Mail

Theres a line drawn across your life. When you become a parent, you cross the line forever.

When Leo Nolans father dies in 1995, his stepson, Adam, now twenty-one, finally asks the question that he has never asked, the question he could never ask. He asks it simply. Is my father alive?

St. Patricks Bed, the sequel to the highly acclaimed, World Fantasy Award finalists Shadow of Ashland and A Witness to Life, revisits Leos family, eleven years after the momentous visit to Ashland, Kentucky.

Thus begins this new odyssey to Dayton, Ohio, to the past, accompanied by family ghosts and the hard truths of the present. Leos quest is both simple and complex: the need in the human heart for redemption, resolution and homecoming.

If Turgenev hadnt already nabbed it, St. Patricks Bed could have been entitled Fathers and Sons, with Leo Nolan straddling both roles. The novel morphs into a road book, taking him from Toronto to Dayton, Ohio, and Ireland. Compact, quietly thoughtful, emotionally compelling. . . . Greens skill as a fantasist shines. A special writer. The Globe and Mail
