From Enzo comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.
The subject is a seemingly pleasant English boarding school far from the influences of the city. Its students are well tended and supported, trained in art and literature, and become just the sort of people the world wants them to be. But, curiously, they are taught nothing of the outside world and are allowed little contact with it.
Within the school grounds, grows a young woman, but it’s only when she and her friends leave the safe grounds of the school (as they always knew they would) that they realize the full truth of what such a school is.
Fading Lines breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Lamas takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.
