A Pyre of Roses tells the story of Michael Attzs, a young man with a tragic life. No aspect of his life, from the mystery of his birth family, to the accident that killed his first wife and child, to the stranger who bums a cigarette and then tries to frames Attzs for murder, is straightforward. Most of the story is told over the shoulder of “Auntie” Beatrice, who has cared for and protected Michael since his childhood, although like everyone in this novel, her own life has not been smooth. Her love and concern for Michael shine out in a story where everyone has something to hide.
