Book Synopsis Now a motion picture starring Harry Styles, Emma Corrin, and David Dawson, an exquisitely told, tragic tale of thwarted love. But Tom and Patrick, a gay art curator, are also attracted to one another. Her infatuation with Tom continues into adulthood, after he becomes a policeman and, eventually, Marion’s spouse. Marion explains how at 14 she met the third member of this romantic triangle, Tom, the slightly older brother of a school friend. Having baited this hook, Roberts then flashes back 48 years to provide the backstory for the dramatic opening. The story begins in 1999 with the line, “I considered starting with these words: I no longer want to kill you-because I really don’t.” The speaker is Marion, and her listener, Patrick, whom she is caring for after he’d suffered a severe stroke, is her captive audience.

Roberts ( The Good Plain Cook) serves up a complex and nuanced exploration of a love triangle in Peacehaven, England.
