Description:

From Scotland's National Book Awards and McKitterick Prize shortlisted author Allan Radcliffe'I mean, it's nothing really. An old face from the past.'Two men meet on a dating app. It's supposed to be a casual encounter between strangers. Jordan is only back in Edinburgh to visit his complicated family, and Davie is reeling from a painful breakup.

Yet Davie recognises Jordan as someone he knew long ago, when they were both closeted teenagers at the same school. Back then, Jordan was relentlessly bullied - and Davie was one of the bullies. But Jordan doesn't remember him at all.

Against the backdrop of a city steeped in memories, Davie and Jordan find themselves drawn together again and again. A fragile intimacy blossoms between them, but can anyone ever be free of their past?PRAISE FOR ALLAN RADCLIFFE'S WRITING'Each and every sentence has been so elegantly penned' -The Scots Magazine'So gentle, so warm, so human' -Rick O'Shea'There is much to admire... from the elegance and economy of the writing to the understanding of the emotional difficulties' -The Scotsman
