Description
Set against the social restrictions of 1950s Brighton, this poignant novel follows Marion, a young teacher who falls in love with Tom, a policeman whose heart is also drawn to Patrick, a sophisticated museum curator. As the three lives become entwined, their relationships are shaped by secrecy, social convention, and the dangers of a time when love between men was forbidden by law. Spanning decades, the story explores desire, loyalty, memory, and the lasting cost of choices made under pressure. Tender and atmospheric, it is a powerful portrait of love constrained by society and the enduring hope for forgiveness.
