Book
Brionne
First published 1968
James Brionne and his young son are forced onto the trail after violence destroys the security of their home. Brionne’s pursuit of the men responsible becomes both a search for justice and a struggle to protect the child who has survived with him, carrying them across a frontier where help is uncertain and the law often arrives too late.
The journey tests Brionne’s endurance as much as his skill with a gun. Pursuit, isolation and the demands of caring for his son gradually change the meaning of revenge, while encounters along the way offer the possibility of rebuilding a life rather than allowing violence to determine what remains of it.
