About this listen

Adam and Rachel are getting married at last. Childhood sweethearts whose lives and families have been intertwined for years; theirs is set to be the wedding of the year.

But then Rachel's cousin Ellie makes an unexpected return to the family fold. As the long-awaited wedding approaches, Adam is torn between duty and temptation, security and freedom, and must make a choice that will break either one heart, or many.

Critic reviews

"A subtle, witty and acutely observed study of a narrow but very recognisable world." ( Observer)
"An impressive debut...the struggle to achieve true adulthood, the loss of innocence and the consequences of adapting to a culture that levies certain expectations on its members, are all cleverly worked into a poised text." ( Sunday Times)

I did enjoy this book, sometimes a little hard to keep track on the characters but this did not detract from the story.

You have to listen to this just to hear the narrator pronounce 'tangential' as 'tangenital'.

Great mispronunciations!
