Book description
When Candida dies after a long illness, she leaves her
five-year-old daughter, Pagan, in his best friend Leo's care.
Candida's adoptive parents are horrified. Refusing to accept that a
gay man is a suitable person to bring up a child, they challenge Leo's
guardianship in the courts. A novel that brings a powerful exploration
of the nature of parenthood and meaning of family life to a new
generation of readers.

author of six highly acclaimed novels, The Celibate, Pagan and Her
Parents, Easter, Unity, A Sea of Change and The Enemy of the Good, and a
