Liam, a teenager, discovers that his father is ill with AIDS and that the memory of an encounter with another man on the beach hides years of family silence. As the illness progresses, Liam must confront his anger, rebuild his father's image, and decide whether he can forgive and reconcile before saying goodbye.
The original novel was published as «Eagle Kite» in 1995; this German edition from Carlsen is from 2003.
Aimed at readers aged fourteen and up, it is also used as school reading for its clear, dialogue-driven style.
