The Fern Tattoo by David Brooks

David Brooks is perhaps better known as a poet and an authority on AD Hope.
The Fern Tattoo is his second venture into fiction. It's a story that spans several generations and uncovers myriad secrets. There's a bigamist bishop, a tattooed librarian, and a young girl who kills her best friend by accident. David Brooks spoke to Lyn Gallacher for The Book Show
