I remember the first time that we lay together and I felt the crackle of her dark hair between my fingers, and closed my eyes and breathed her in, so that she became my entire world.

A beautifully crafted novel by award-winning author Joanne Horniman that explores the tension between the things that pull people together and the things that push them apart.
