Description de l’éditeur
They thought they could share him. They were wrong.
A sweeping, addictive story about forbidden love and impossible compromise, for readers of Call Me By Your Name, The Line of Beauty and Tin Man.
*Now a major film starring Harry Styles and Emma Corrin*
Marion first sees Tom on a Brighton beach and falls instantly, irrevocably in love. But Tom has another side to him that she will soon discover when she meets Patrick, a museum curator – and Tom’s other lover.
In 1950s Britain, it is safer for a policeman to marry a schoolteacher than to pursue a gay romance. And so Marion becomes Tom’s wife, while Patrick becomes his secret.
What follows is a devastating triangle of longing and betrayal, unfolding across decades.

Avis d’utilisateurs
Life changing
This book changed my point of view on many things this year as a queer person. It has branded its way in my heart with the delicacy of the characters and the heart breaking love story. Very well written, I love that I hate this book for it is so close to the truth.
