Synopsis
WINNER OF THE WALES BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2026
AN OBSERVER BEST DEBUT NOVELIST OF 2025
WATERSTONES WELSH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025
'One of the most beautiful and original gay novels I have a read in a long time'
NEIL BLACKMORE
When two quiet men form a tentative connection neither knows where it might lead. M has inherited his family's ironmongery business and B is younger by eleven years and can see no future in the place where he has grown up, but when M offers him a job and lodgings, he accepts. As the two men work side by side in the shop, they also begin a life together in their one shared room above - the kind of life they never imagined possible and that risks everything if their public performance were to slip.
Unfolding in South Wales against the backdrop of Section 28, the age of consent debate and the HIV and AIDS crisis, this is a tender and resonant love story, and a powerful debut.
