Thy Mother's Glass takes you to the extraordinary world of Davey Bryant and his mother, Isabella. David Watmough chronicles four decades of Davey's life - from a Cornish farm in the 1920s, to San Francisco for the birth of the Gay Liberation movement - stopping in Paris, Egypt and South Africa along the way. This is an intricate novel about physical and spiritual journeys, sexuality, and a mother and son in search of a better understanding of themselves and each other.

No more into the garden: Chronicles of Davey Bryant

Advance Praise from Carol Shields, author of Unless and The Stone Diaries "I read The Moor Is Dark Beneath the Moon with great pleasure and with a particular appreciation for its narrative energy; one wants to go on turning over those pages. I loved the Cornish stuff and felt affection for the kids, the teenagers--well, more than affection, more like an instant recognition." -- Carol Shields After decades in Canada, Davey Bryant returns to Cornwall, England, for the funeral of a mysterious relative and lands in the middle of a property-inheritance squabble that threatens to escalate into something far worse. Distraught by the changed landscape of his beloved homeland, Davey wanders the lonely moors and is soon sleuthing his way through a farce of megalithic proportions in which a midget couple driving a Morris Mini van might or might not be reincarnations of an evil Camelot dwarf and his consort. In the course of his investigations, Davey becomes ever more dislocated in time as he tries to fathom the nature of a gay family tree that besides himself may include a spinster aunt and a good-looking teenage cousin named Quentin. Magic's in the air, and it's not just the glint of the BBC cameras shooting a mini-series about Merlin and King Arthur in Tintagel. As Davey says about the moors, "Lots of things have died out here. And not just bodies, but hopes and strange loves. Nothing is really quite as it seems."

Arsenal Pulp Press

A pastiche of finely woven stories that bridge the ages, juxtaposing the elemental dramas of classical mythology with modern explorations on the electronic highway. Davey Bryant is an aging gay man searching for a means out of loneliness on the Internet; in this anonymous arena, he embarks on wistful, witty journeys with faceless correspondents, who find a sympathetic listener in Davey. Their stories provide a voyeuristic glimpse into imperfect lives that transcends gender and sexuality, rooted in philosophies and deities, and imbued with love, humour, and irony.
