At a bleak boys boarding school in Cornwall in the eighties when bullying is rife, Will and his best friend, Luke, are involved in a horrific incident that results in Luke leaving.

Twenty-five years later their paths cross again and memories of a painful childhood come flooding back to haunt them both.

Wills wife, Harmony, is struggling after a miscarriage that has hit her hard, and wishes Will would open up about what happened.

A compelling, moving and captivating book that had me hooked from the first page . . . At the core of the book is the profound impact that trauma, experienced at a young age, can have on the rest of a persons life, and the lives of those who love that person Louise Douglas, bestselling author of The Room in the Attic

A powerful story about the shadowlands that can connect people with long-held secrets. What I particularly loved when reading it was the constant interplay between menace and damage: the menace posed by others and the damage Jenningss gritty and deftly drawn characters actually do to themselves. A really great read Claire Dyer, author of The Significant Others of Odie May
