When the remains of a young child are discovered during a winter storm on a stretch of the bleak Lancashire coastline known as the Loney, a man named Smith is forced to confront the terrifying and mysterious events that occurred forty years earlier when he visited the place as a boy. At that time, his devoutly Catholic mother was determined to find healing for Hanny, his disabled older brother. And so the family, along with members of their parish, embarked on an Easter pilgrimage to an ancient shrine.

But not all of the locals were pleased to see visitors in the area. And when the two brothers found their lives entangling with a glamorous couple staying at a nearby house, they became involved in more troubling rites. Smith feels he is the only one to know the truth, and he must bear the burden of his knowledge, no matter what the cost. Proclaimed a “modern classic” by the Sunday Telegraph (UK), The Loney marks the arrival of an important new voice in fiction.

Muito bom pra dormir

O livro tem uma proposta até que interessante, mas o desenvolvimento tanto dos personagens quando da história é muito fraco, parece que não tá caminhando pra lugar nenhum e no final realmente não faz a menor diferença os acontecimentos. O autor deixa em aberto o que acontece com o personagem e em nenhum momento revela alguma pista sobre o que pode ter ocorrido.
No final foi só uma perda de tempo mesmo
