    <![CDATA[Sixteen-year-old Davey Baker is in the attic when the militia comes to Edenfields to reclaim his familys farm. Locked in shock, he witnesses the brutal murder of both his parents. The neighbouring farmers, Mike and Marsha De Wethis parents closest friendstake him in and try to care for him. They look to cope, like their people have always done. But Davey is on a different path. One night he escapes from school and embarks on a harrowing journey across Africa, eventually coming home to Edenfields Farm, searching for redemption. Shortlisted for the 2006 Dylan Thomas Prize, Unfeeling is a triumphant debut from a promising new writer. The writing is close to brilliant, in my view. There is a dreamlike quality to the text, as though much of the story is happening in slow motion, even though the content is shocking and sometimes gruesome. -- Alma Lee, Vancouver Sun]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;At sixteen, Davey Baker is almost the man his father wants him to be, and almost the child he was. When his parents are murdered and his family's farm &quot;reclaimed,&quot; the community tries to bring him back to the club, the church, and his boarding school. But Davey is on a different path. One night he escapes from school and embarks on a harrowing journey across the continent, in search of something even he isn't sure of. At once haunting, dreamlike, and realistic, <em>Unfeeling</em> announces the arrival of a major new writer.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;At 16, Davey's stuck between becoming the man his father wants him to be, and leaving behind the child he was. Before Davey gets a chance to grow up, however, his placid life is destroyed when his parents are murdered and his family farm “reclaimed.” Neighboring farmers try to care for Davey by engaging him in their community of clubs, church, and boarding school, but one night Davey escapes, embarking on a harrowing trek away from civilization and toward revenge and redemption. Ian Holding’s tense, sparse prose, vivid sense of place, and searing portrait of a boy in a situation almost beyond imagining make this an unforgettable debut.&lt;/div&gt;]]>
