Straad - Ken Cairnduff

Straad is a drifter, searching for less shallowness in his life. He longs for Cláragh. She ambushes his busy days and haunts his lonely nights. She looks past the mirror of his eyes and sees into his soul. But she is also obsessed by another and questions whether she is ready to commit.Cláragh and Straad’s fervid affair dominates this tale. But here also are the affairs of their friends; a perfect one to never end, a forever dead one to live again, a forbidden one to find the light. There is hatred and death, longing and betrayal, but all is a journey.A story which questions the times in our lives when we are forced to make decisions; some made on a whim, some driven by obsession, some made by others. These are choices which affect ourselves, our lovers, and our descendants, forever.After making these decisions, do we get another chance?A darkly humorous story of living, longing, dying. Questioning commitment and desire.
