On the bright road

the long version

"Convinced that he is dying, Cathal Kerr retreats to his lonely cottage in the Welsh hills, preoccupied with the workings of his own mind and spirit. Meanwhile, in the woods above Cathal's desolate home, in a time overlapping the present, a sixth-century woodsman, the Tracker, watches the movement of beast and man.". "The road running nearby follows the old Roman highway, transformed by legend into 'The Bright Road'. What happens when Cathal's world comes into contact with an age long gone?"--BOOK JACKET.
