The draftsman

Martin Cox is a brilliant but untrained draftsman in hisearly twenties. He is rich, damaged, obsessive.

Shadowhurst Hall, remote, desolate and forgotten, exerts apeculiar pull. The country landscape, a world of shades and shadows, bothconfuses and beguiles Martin, a man more comfortable in black and white, with factsand numbers.

As he explores the house, the landscape and its history itleads him on a journey - back in time to two world wars, and forwards, unexpectedly,towards a healing. A novel of memory and history, and of the scars left by unacknowledgeddamage and how they can shape us, TheDraftsman is also a story of renewal.
