Step into an infinite world of stories
A Remembrance of Death is Andrew Tweeddale's exceptional new novel.
Basil Drewe, a young barrister from a privileged family, navigates the treacherous waters of post-World War I Britain. As he builds his career, he forms an unlikely friendship with Laxman, an Indian student yearning for his country's freedom and the brilliant but dour barrister David Maxwell Fyfe. His world collides with Celia, a nurse bearing the scars of war. Together their relationship must endure the chaos of World War II and the Nuremberg trials. However, when Basil is asked to advise on the detainment and torture of the Kikuyu tribe in Kenya, he's forced to question everything he believed about justice, empire and even how the wealth of his family was obtained. Basil faces an impossible choice. Will he risk his reputation, his relationships, and his future to reveal the truth?
Embark on this gripping journey about the decline of the British Empire!
