George Junior comes to the fictionalised Spanish village of El Turrisco to reconnect with his ageing father after years marked by imprisonment, illness, estrangement, and damaging messages that entered the family and changed how he was understood. George believes he was wrongly treated, misidentified, and then followed by a false story that others accepted more readily than his own account. His father eventually begins to see that the messages were manipulative and blocks their source, but this late recognition cannot restore the lost years or erase the fracture between father, son, and sisters.
At the same time, George’s body is failing under the accumulated pressure. Chronic fatigue, neurological illness, fear, and trauma make travel and ordinary obligations feel physically impossible. He is expected to return to England, attend meetings, visit a friend in prison, support other people, and continue proving that he is loving, reliable, and truthful. Instead, his body says no. Remaining in Spain becomes the first major act of the story: not a victory over others, but a refusal to keep injuring himself in order to satisfy their expectations.
As the book develops, George begins to understand that care is not the same as explanation, control, or grand declarations. Care appears through small actions: water, food, transport, presence, and his father quietly peeling mushrooms on a balcony after two strokes. Their relationship is not fully repaired, and the family conflict does not disappear, but George learns to hold love and failure together without returning to the old courtroom of accusation. The story ends with him choosing distance, boundaries, and the right not to answer every rumour—the beginning of a life in which he no longer has to prove himself by walking back into the fire.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
