My Policeman

An exquisitely told tragic tale of thwarted love, My Policeman is soon to be adapted into film by Amazon Prime starring Harry Styles and Emma Corrin.

It is in 1950s' Brighton that Marion first catches sight of Tom.

The era and the seaside locale are beautifully rendered and observed, not least the social and sexual undercurrents of the time

A humane and evocative portrait of a time when lives were destroyed by intolerance

This spiky portrait of love makes for a gripping read

Pitch perfect

A moving story of longing and frustration

Stunning...fraught and honest
