Glimpses of Purgatory - Robert Menzies - Bog

It is the 1960s and the world is changing - socially, morally and politically. Two brothers, raised on a dairy farm by their hard-working and loving parents, become confused and disillusioned by the sudden and unexpected disappearance of their father. As the small family's circumstances gradually decline, the boys' lives are made more miserable by a drunken abusive stepfather, a sadistic teacher and a school bully who graduates into an underworld thug. Forced to grow up quickly, the boys find themselves thrust into a world of violence, intrigue and retribution. But love and hope can conquer all.
