Description
TWO MEN. TWENTY YEARS. ONE PROPOSAL.
Danny and Luis have been a couple for decades. Piece by piece, they've built a life together. They've created a home.
The only thing they didn't have was a marriage. When they met, it was illegal.
But the law finally changes, and Danny decides to propose - on a Scottish hilltop, to the love of his life.
Luis loves Danny, but does he love marriage?
And, as the past begins to catch up to them both, everything they have worked for begins to fall apart.
Can their love survive the ultimate test? And is a yes still worth fighting for after twenty years together?
Tender, romantic, and beautifully written, Twenty Years Together is a love story for the ages, by the multi-million copy bestselling author of Child 44.

Reviews / Votes
'The right to marry is what we fought for. Many of us actively campaigned, marched, wrote to elected officials, signed petitions, striving for equality and never thought we would win. There are moments in Twenty Years Together that caught me off guard with their raw reliving of my own pre-marital ambivalence.' * <I>DNA Magazine</I> * '[Twenty Years Together] will speak to couples of all persuasions thinking of marriage as the next step in their relationship.' -- Peter Gray * <I>Good Reading</I> * 'Tom Rob Smith has delivered a classic love story, where love is the greatest hope and equality is the greatest struggle . . . A funny, gorgeous and quietly revolutionary love story.' -- Eli Beverley-Schack * <I>Sydney Arts Guide</I> * 'Tom Rob Smith has crafted a love story which will appeal to all readers who enjoy reading . . .
