Publisher's Summary

In the early '70s a glamorous couple known as Evie/Stevie appear out of nowhere on the isolated concrete campus of a new university. To a group of teenagers experimenting with radical ideas they seem blown back from the future, unsettling everything and uncovering covert desires. But the flamboyant self-expression hides deep anxieties. For Adele, with the most to conceal, Evie/Stevie become a lifelong obsession.

Binge listen

I couldn't stop listening. It was tremendously good. At one point a book is described as something you must inhabit and that is true for this one. You sunk right into it and now it feels like my own memories.
