Book description
A fishing trip marks the end of Jerra and Sean's friendship, although
once, when they were younger and more innocent, it would have seemed
unbelievable that the bond between them could ever be broken. But
growing up has meant growing apart, the differences between them
widening, sharpening their teasing words into something crueller and
less easy to forgive.
'Both a serial romantic and a truly gifted novelist' Mariella Frostrup,
Mail on Sunday
'Winton's writing is a heady blend of muscular description, deep
sentiment and metaphysics' Sunday Telegraph
