Destiny by Tim Parks
A middle-aged expatriate writer returns to England for his troubled son’s funeral and, in a relentless, self-justifying address to his estranged wife, sifts through the wreckage of their marriage, his betrayals, and the strains of living between cultures. Grief and guilt drive him to interrogate memory, nationalism, and the stories he has spun to excuse himself, blurring the line between fate and choice as he wonders whether responsibility can survive the consolations of narrative.
