A brave and beautiful book . . . Delicate, devastating, brilliant - I loved it.

Hypnotically compelling, tender, bleak, beautiful and perturbing, often all at the same time. Alex Allison has such a strong voice and is such a remarkable talent. I hope to be reading his work for many years to come.

A charming and tender look at love and the beautiful game.

A raw and propulsive book about love, football, and the pleasures and frustrations of the body.
