‘Haunting.sensitive.the relationship between the lovers is utterly convincing. A fine, moving novel.’ PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ‘Dianne Highbridge’s novel is that rare thing – a love story for adults. It’s smart, delicate, sexy, and deeply affecting.’ ELIZABETH BENEDICT ‘This spare novel is riveting. I read it in one sitting, mesmerised by the author’s talent. It is daring, moving and absolutely true to life.’ SHEILA BALLANTYNE Aly is a thirty-five year old high school English teacher, divorced, not thrilled with her job, a little lonely. One day she takes the train instead of driving home and is recognised by Tom, the son of her best friend. After this accidental encounter, they meet again, and again. Aly finds herself looking forward intensely to these interludes. Tom is tall, handsome, an athlete and intelligent – even a gifted musician. The moments they spend together become the most meaningful part of their lives. Then he wants more. How can she resist? They are perfectly suited in every way but one. Tom is a much younger man. This is a moving account of love’s ambushes and surprises, deftly told in spare and sensuous prose that will engage every reader who has ever fallen taboo of society’s taboos.or wanted to.
