The Slowworm's Song by Andrew Miller

challenging informative sad slow-paced

This book is written in the form of a long letter from an ex-soldier and alcoholic to his daughter whose childhood he missed but with whom he is now starting a relationship.  The main thrust of the story is whether he can open up about an incident in Northern Ireland that basically destroyed him as a person. It is nicely written and by the end I found myself quite involved with the life of the main character.  I think I liked Miller’s other books better though.
