It is 1946, and seventeen-year-old Laura Telling is stagnating in her dilapidated Sussex family home, while her eccentric parents slip further into isolation. A chance encounter with Paul Lovell offers her the chance to alter the course of her destiny – and to embark on a new life in South Africa. Many miles north, sixteen-year-old Gay Gibson is desperate to escape Birkenhead.

Each in their own worlds, but thrown together, the girls find their lives inextricably entangled, with fatal consequences…

About The Author

Rachel Heath was born in Bristol in 1968. She lives with her husband, a screen writer, and their three children and one dog in Bath. This is her first novel.

A dark, compelling debut … Heath skilfully recreates the trajectory of Gibson's life, but it's Trelling's equally damaged character … which provides the vital emotional charge

Other text

Heath combines imaginative, fast paced story telling with an unerring sense of period, place and mood… an exceptionally well-written, suspenseful novel.
