The Draftsman

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

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

As he explores the house, the landscape and its history it
leads 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 unacknowledged
damage and how they can shape us, The
Draftsman is also a story of renewal.
