Description
From the bestselling author of STILL LIFE
*As featured on BBC Radio 4's A Good Read*
This is almost a love story. But it's not as simple as that.
It begins with two boys, Ellis and Michael,
who are inseparable.
And the boys become men,
and then Annie walks into their lives,
and it changes nothing and everything.
'Packs an enormous punch' Independent
'Exquisite. I haven't been so moved and so in love with a book and its characters for a very long time'
Joanna Cannon
'This book is why I read' Nina Pottell, Prima
'Ephemeral yet powerful... Every fleeting moment is worth repeating, again and again' Stylist
