My Policeman

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.
