Young Marco

 book cover


Young Marco 


A distraught young woman called Natalie comes home to find a journal on her coffee table, accompanied by a note from its author. Initially angered by the gesture, she eventually becomes curious enough to read.

What begins as a description of a young man experiencing loss, and subsequently leaving middle-class comfort for seclusion on a council estate, leads to a declaration of intent to sort his life out and a willingness to choose even suffering over the apathy that has come to characterize his existence.
As the author, Marco, documents his progress, he quickly encounters welcome changes - a reunion with old friends and an unexpected romance with his intriguing new neighbour, Natalie. Through his dull job at a grocery store though, Marco inadvertently gets drawn into the troubles of Bernie, a lonely old man from his estate who becomes the victim of a vicious assault.
As Marco and Natalie help Bernie on his road to recovery, their efforts bring them closer together. But a secret the old man is keeping has the potential to violently drive them apart.
