DUCK EGG FARM by Andrew Humphrey

This is the poignant story of two brothers (narrated by the bookish one of them) caught up in the drug and eventually more violent crime scene in Norwich from the Seventies onward, neatly characterised and placed, including their relationship with  each other, with their mother, and their fellow crooks….and the wide-ranging reading literary material of the narrator made me think that what might have killed them, or what might have saved them, was this fiction’s vested interest? A tantalising ending.

A story from a collection by this author — ‘A Punch to the Heart’ published by Head Shot Press: https://headshotpress.com/a-punch-to-the-heart/
