Two young people travelling through Italy are caught in the rain, needing to hitch a lift... and nothing will ever be the same again.
Richard and Mary have been together throughout University, and the trip had been planned long ago. But before they set out Richard had a brief affair with Alice, and his confusion and Mary's suspicions have started to change everything. They make a series of small choices which ultimately lead to disaster. In delicately powerful prose Peter Robinson carefully, painfully, and beautifully depicts the relationships before and after the brief and traumatic event at the heart of the novel.
A book about responsibility and love, consequences and transformation.
