Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
What does it mean to love and be loved?
It is the 1980s and Finn and Keely are growing up in the North East of England.
Keely is a fighter. Even in the face of loss she strives to seek connection, but finds that she’s not always searching in the right places.
Finn is quiet, sensitive, distant. He spends much of his time alone, yet deep down he wants to discover the thrill of relating to others.
When the two finally meet, everything is changed. Love – with all of its attendant joys and costs – is thrust upon them, and each must decide if they will bend or break under its pressure. True Love is a story of the trials of youth, the bonds of family and friendship, and of how much we are willing to risk to have ourselves be seen.

Haunting
A painfully honest account of grief, loss, love and connection from two sides of a love story, told in a beautiful lyrical style. The narrator imbues the voices of the main characters with a delicate breath of life, allowing the words to deliver the punch. Skillfully read with a truth and raw quality that encapsulates the setting, evoking iron skies and coal blackened beaches. Her voice dances between intimate understanding and unsuspecting punches to the gut.
