Summary
Childhood betrayal casts a long shadow…
From the author of The Haven and The Cliff House, this is a devastating thriller set in a Cornish boarding school.
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.
Will’s wife, Harmony, is struggling after a miscarriage that has hit her hard, and wishes Will would open up about what happened. But as Will withdraws further, she finds herself drawn to the charismatic stranger from her husband’s past, Luke, and soon all three are caught in a tangled web of guilt and desire...
From Amanda Jennings, author of The Cliff House, comes a haunting thriller about betrayal and revenge.
Critic reviews
"A beautiful, sharply written novel about how we carry the past with us." (Louise Beech, author of Nothing Else)
"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 person’s 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 Jennings’s gritty and deftly drawn characters actually do to themselves. A really great read." (Claire Dyer, author of The Significant Others of Odie May)

Complex issues
This book gets better as you read more. The characters were well developed with the human condition in all its complexities. It is not a happy feel good book but has a pleasing ending showing that issues can be overcome

Exceptional
A difficult subject tackled in fictional form, with understanding and care. So often these traumas are hidden away to fester and cause more trauma, but here everything is brought to light. I loved the ending, a form of forgiveness.
