The Blinding Walk

In the aftermath of a wholly unforeseen and deeply tragic turn of events, young Mel Seuchar strides along Longniddrie Beach in Edinburgh. He is trying to fit the broken pieces together. What really happened? How had it come about? He pictures himself and his friend Yehune; their flight out of New Zealand across the Asian continent and all the way to Europe; Mairi, the girl they met there. Stil the pieces won’t fit, the story refuses to cohere.
