Set in the American West in the 1870s and Hollywood in the era of the silent films, this novel tells of Harry Vincent, a struggling title writer and a young drifter, known simply as "the Englishman's boy". It ends with the savage revenge-attack on an unarmed Indian tribe.

Review:
'Guy Vanderhaeghe is simply a wonderful writer. THE ENGLISHMAN'S BOY, spanning as it does two countries, two centuries, two views of history - the Canadian wild west as 'imagined' by Hollywood - is a great accomplishment. Readers, I think, will find this book irresistible' Richard Ford 'Bristles with rare vitality... it had not admire the skill with which Vanderhaeghe dramatises two quite different worlds' Julia Flynn, Sunday Telegraph 'A strong, hard novel... Vanderhaeghe is a fine writer' Phil Baker, Sunday Times
Book Description:
* Vanderhaeghe deftly weaves two parallel narratives - one about the old Canadian West and the other about Tinseltown in its most extravagent era - in this irresistible novel about power, greed, betrayal, and the pull of dreams.
