In a small Scottish parish in a post-industrial town by the sea, an English priest with secrets in his own past becomes stalked by the fear of scandal, class hatred, and lost ideals. When Father David Anderton takes over a Scottish parish, not everyone is ready to accept him. Over the spring and summer of 2003, Father David befriends two young, troubled students, Mark and Lisa. Their natural energy and response to the world bring out his own feelings of protectiveness, as well as longings for parts of himself -- and his past -- that he has come to lose. This relationship and the way it develops leads to the book's climax, as Father David finds himself facing accusations of abuse.

  • "Als David, een Engelse priester, een Schotse parochie overneemt, is niet iedereen bereid hem te accepteren. Hij raakt bevriend met twee jonge mensen uit het dorp, Mark en Lisa, en komt in aanraking met een wereld die hij nauwelijks kan begrijpen. Elke dag lijkt het dorp donkerder te worden. Als het onafwendbare noodlot toeslaat, wordt zijn rustige leven het middelpunt van publieke hysterie. Blijf bij mij - de originele titel van O'Hagans roman is afkomstig is uit het wereldberoemde gedicht 'In Memoriam' van lord Tennyson - gaat over kunst en politiek, liefde en verandering, en is een verhaal over hoe wij nu leven. Gevangen in klassenstrijd en bedreigd door persoonlijke zwaktes ontdekt David wat er met de idealen van zijn generatie is gebeurd, terwijl ondertussen op zijn eigen drempel een religieuze oorlog woedt. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."

Meanwhile, religious warfare breaks out on his doorstep."
