Description

Joshua and Natalie share a vexed five-year history of sporadic encounters, explosive drunkenness and failed intercourse, spliced with sad intimations of true love. Natalie is attempting to start a new life in Manchester, but when Joshua calls unexpectedly and asks her to meet him in America she knows she has no choice but to go.Whilst wandering around the Blue Ridge Mountains or lying together for days in their cheap hotel room, they talk about their lives – about his ex-wife, and her dead family – and come to a surprising understanding.Shortlisted for the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and winner of the Somerset Maugham Prize.

About The Author

Gwendoline Riley was born in 1979 and has published three previous novels: Cold Water, which won a Betty Trask Award; Sick Notes; and, most recently, Opposed Positions.

Riley's prose is as clear, sharp and sobering as her heroine's tonic water. Bubbles of bitter humour burst and repeat on the reader's tongue

Other text

Riley writes with a Woolf-ish exactitude… A brilliant and beautiful novel
