About the Book

My father grabbed my mother’s hand and then my own, and he ran us across the cool sand to the water’s edge. He whooped seagulls into the sky.
‘Happy new year!’ he yelled at the noise and the spray.
My mother yelled the same. ‘Happy new year!’
They were both very good actors.

In the summer of 1976, Frank and Laura travel down south to a cottage by the sea. Their son Toby lays bare all that he sees. It is the summer Frank is called away and Laura meets a man in the street. It is a summer of fragile lives and uncertain times, of loss and longing, and secrets that can destroy. It is the summer one phone call changes a marriage forever.
