      ‘A heartbreaking tale of love, grief and devotion.’

       The Sun

      ‘Exceptionally beautiful, emotionally charged and inspirational.

       Miranda Dickinson

      ‘Keeps you guessing to the turn of the last page. S.D. Robertson writes with brave assurance that makes the story a must-read and marks him as an author to follow.’

       Stewart Foster

      ‘A wonderfully told tale of devastation, grief and ultimately hope, with a narrative that grips from the start and doesn’t let go until the final page.’

       Kathryn Hughes

      ‘What’s really, really clever about this book is that you don’t realise you’ve been drawn in until it’s too late to stop. The story leaves you sliding down an emotional knife edge until you freefall. It’s soft, subtle, and engaging, then devastating.’
