Three Graves Tine Høeg

Three Graves Tine HøegJohn Wilson dreamt of becoming a renowned composer. John sets aside music for literature, writing under the name Anthony Burgess. Decades later, alone once more in Manchester, he encounters three spectres from his past. They refer to him as Our Jackie, and he senses the facade of Burgess begin to crumble. Walking rain soaked streets he is drawn back to his past lives in pre independent Malaya, wartime London, 1960s Europe, and 1970s America.
