Description
The Brave by Nicholas Evans is a compelling novel that weaves together themes of courage, family, and the haunting effects of the past. Set in 1959, the story follows Tommy Bedford, a quirky, lonely boy with an obsession for cowboys and Indians, as he is sent to a harsh boarding school where bullies and sadistic staff dominate. Struggling to fit in, Tommy finds solace in his glamorous sister, Diane, who is swept off to Hollywood by TV cowboy Ray Montane, one of Tommy’s heroes. But as the Cold War intensifies, Tommy and Diane are drawn into the darker side of Hollywood, where their newfound fame quickly turns into a perilous situation.
Fast forward forty years, and Tommy is forced to confront the ghosts of his boyhood when his son becomes entangled in a murder charge. In this thought-provoking narrative, Evans skillfully explores the lasting impact of childhood experiences and the secrets that can shape a family’s destiny. The Brave delves into the complexities of bravery, both in the face of external threats and internal fears, and highlights the importance of confronting one’s past in order to move forward.
A poignant and gripping read, The Brave will resonate with readers who enjoy historical fiction and family dramas, as well as those who appreciate stories that examine the enduring power of memory and the consequences of past actions.
