O'Hagan, Andrew, 1968-2016
Books
Anne Quirk's life is built on stories - the lies she was told by the man she loved and the fictions she built to survive. Now in her eighties Anne lives a simple life, yet in her youth she was an artistic pioneer, a creator of groundbreaking documentary photographs. But no one remembers Anne now. Her beloved grandson, Luke, is a captain in the British Army. But when his mission in Afghanistan ends badly, he returns home and begins to look into the stories of his family. Attempting to unravel a mystery from her past, he and Anne set out for Blackpool, where the dazzling lights brighten the town, and Anne's story is finally illuminated.
