Theres a bar at the crossroads on the way out of town. Or the way in, depending on whether youre coming or going. Marcie and her husband have run it for years. After thirty years of marriage, there arent many secrets left between them. Couples often say that, dont they? But its not always true.
Arlene appeared in the bar one day, hoping that shed find a man called Jack. Franky came back to town soon after, hoping that people might have forgotten the mess hed left behind him the first time around. Frankys problem had always been women. Women and money. What Arlenes problem is isnt clear. Its obvious she has a history, but who doesnt?
As Arlene gets closer to finding Jack her father? her lover? the bar becomes the scene of a great unravelling. In Jim Powell's Things We Nearly Knew, secrets buried a lifetime ago are dragged into the light.
