Eight years ago, Robin fled from his family, friends, and entire life, to suffer a complete breakdown in an island monastery. Now he’s returning to London and reconnecting with those he left behind: his mother and father, with their own small secrets, and Jake and Candida.
But while the people he abandoned have missed him, Robin finds that everything has changed. He alone can decide what he will do in this new world of resentment, possibility and triumphant love.

Richly comic, affectionate and perceptive
[Gale] shows the diversity of passionate behavior, sometimes hilarious, sometimes threatening, but always skillfully contained within a comedy of contemporary manners
Comic, touching, astringent and immensely accomplished. A real treat
