Caitlin dreams of a fresh start in a new house, clean walls, decent food. But for Frazer, Apex Court is home. It's where his parents lived and died and where the memory of them stays alive. He's asked her to marry him twice. She tries to leave most weeks. They still love each other - but is it enough?As vibrant, original and funny as his acclaimed debut Only Here, Only Now, this unforgettable new novel confirms Tom Newlands as one of the brightest Scottish talents of his generation.
