Description

A haunting illustrated novel by the author of Thornhill. Told in two alternating narratives, The Hideaway follows Billy McKenna, who runs away from home and takes refuge in an overgrown graveyard. One thread is from Billy's perspective, while the other follows events at home as the police search for him. Themes include domestic violence, family, childhood, and separation and reunion. The Hideaway is illustrated throughout with tonal black-and-white drawings, leading to double-page spreads at the climax.
