Elvis.Įlvis is a young man with learning disabilities who lives in Nightingale Point, and is visited by his seemingly disinterested, go through the motions, tick the box carer. Not because of the setting, or the subject matter (more of that later), but because of one character. I am going to be honest with you all, and say from the outset, that if I had known what Nightingale Point was about, I don’t think I would have asked for a copy to read and review. When the sun sets, Nightingale Point is irrevocably changed and somehow, through the darkness, the residents must find a way back to lightness, and back to each other. It’s a day like any other, until something extraordinary happens. Pamela wants to run back to Malachi but her overprotective father has locked her in and there’s no way out. No wonder he’s falling in with the wrong crowd, without Malachi to keep him straight.Įlvis is trying hard to remember to the instructions his care worker gave him, but sometimes he gets confused and forgets things. Tristan wishes Malachi would stop pining for Pamela. Between looking after Tristan and nursing a broken heart, he feels older than his twenty-one years. Mary has a secret life that no one knows about, not even Malachi and Tristan, the brothers she vowed to look after.
On an ordinary Saturday morning in 1996, the residents of Nightingale Point wake up to their normal lives and worries.
