About the Book:

What would you risk for the sake of a friendship? 1974: Peter, a confident sixteen-year-old, and handsome but mentally unstable Euan scrape an education in an intimidating London comprehensive school. Beneath their outwardly masculine, bantering friendship lies a powerful and unspoken sexual attraction. Overweight and insecure, Sarah is infatuated with Euan, yet her clumsy advances only push the boys closer together. Euan's incipient psychosis is aggravated by his friends rivalry and harassment, yet a bungled attempt at suicide unites Peter and Sarah in guilt, tying the three into a lifelong bond of friendship. 1995: Leona, Peter's wife of ten years, is pregnant again. The birth of a frail baby girl is yet another strain on the outwardly successful relationship, already overshadowed by Peter's unacknowledged love for Euan. And just as their marriage seems to be safe again, Euan's partner dies... A brave, emotionally charged exploration of the complexity of relationships and the enduring nature of love
