Description

**LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE**

A powerful, heart-breaking story about tempting fate and living with the consequences


Arthur and Jake are brothers yet worlds apart.

Arthur is older, shy, dutiful and set to inherit his father's farm. Jake is younger, handsome and reckless, a dangerous man to know.

When Laura arrives in their rural community, the fragile balance of the brothers' rivalry is pushed to the edge of catastrophe...

'An enthralling read, both straightforward and wonderfully intricate' Guardian

'Evokes beautifully the big joys and sorrows of most people, no matter how small their town' The Times



The second novel from the bestselling, prize-winning Mary Lawson - a powerful, heartbreaking story about tempting fate and living with the consequences

About the Author

Mary Lawson's first novel, Crow Lake, was loved by critics and readers all over the world; it was translated into 25 languages and published in 28 countries. It was a New York Times bestseller, won the McKitterick Prize and spent 75 weeks on the bestseller lists in her native Canada. Her second novel, The Other Side of the Bridge, was longlisted for the Booker Prize and selected for the Richard & Judy Book Club. Road Ends, published in 2014, was described by the New York Times as 'tender and surprising . . . a vivid and evocative tale'. A Town Called Solace, published to critical acclaim in February 2021, was an instant bestseller in her native Canada. Mary came to England in the 1960s, and lives in Kingston-upon-Thames.

Like the great 19th-century novelists of provincial life, Mary Lawson is fluent in the desperate intensity of the small, individual dramas of respectable people - and she paints an eloquent picture * Sunday Telegraph *
Evokes beautifully the big joys and sorrows of most people, no matter how small their town * The Times *
Discreetly powerful * Daily Telegraph *
This is a fine book - an enthralling read, both straightforward and wonderfully intricate * Guardian *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
