His actionher father’s killing. Fifteen years later, the two met and talked to share their stories, although when we look closely we fi nd that these are more than stories, and that they can never actually be fully shared. Through a brave and diffi cult struggle towards understanding, Jo Berry and Pat Magee arrive at new perceptions of themselves and each other.
