The Time Out quote: tied to the sofa all weekend (not your chair)
As a volunteer at St Margaret's Hospice, eager and helpful Meryl is looking for a role in life. The arrival of Jamie, the son of a patient, may be just what she is after. He is charismatic, young and above all troubled.
Jamie's father has only days to live, but between father and son is a lifetime of misunderstanding. With well-meaning Meryl hovering in the background, Jamie embarks on his long, dark night, facing the secrets, lies and heartbreaks behind his father's life. Could the most powerful legacy Jamie faces be an inability to love?
'Knight's début packs a steady and unrelenting series of punches. A book about love, but not sentimentality...and all the better for its lack of easy answers' Vogue
'I was gripped...sharp and astringent, with great emotion' Margaret Forster
'Deft and promising' Spectator
