Inhaltsangabe

1960. Love and innocence.

The people who live in the village of Meridian handle everything themselves - celebrations, the issues of the day, justice, even the permissibility of love. Two young boys witness one night of unforgettable tragedy. Both finally tell their stories after a chance encounter half a century later. What was the crime? Who was the real victim? In Meridian justice is always done. In Meridian - after a fire - love is The Last Light Spoken.

A novel about children, rules, and the adults who live by them by the author of Roadkill and Too Late The Hunter.
