About this listen

Leo is a lonely workaholic with no time for romance in his life. His job in London takes all his energy and commitment. When he goes to Cornwall to stay with his terminally ill uncle, Edwin, love is the last thing Leo expects to find. Tris lives in a cottage on Edwin's land. Gay, but still half in the closet, he and Leo bond over their affection for Edwin, and the pull of attraction between them proves too strong to ignore.

In Tris's arms, in the wilds of Cornwall, Leo finds a peace he'd forgotten existed. On his return to London, Leo finds himself grieving for more than just the loss of his uncle. When some unexpected news gives Leo the chance to return to Cornwall, he's afraid it will be too late to rekindle things with Tris. But having learned much from his stay with his uncle, Leo doesn't want to look back and wish he'd done things differently. It's time to seize the day - if it's not already too late.

A passionate and sweet story with lots of feels and a stunning journey of love, loss and discovery. Wonderfully crafted characters brought to life in the audio by Matthew Lloyd Davies who kept me spellbound throughout the entire read. A beautiful book that I'm sure to visit again.

Leo takes time out from his hectic London job to visit Edwin, his uncle in Cornwall who is dying of cancer. Edwin rents a cottage on his land to Tris, and Leo and Tris form a close bond during Edwin’s last days. This is the kind of beautiful, melancholic romance that Jay Northcote always excels at, he writes with compassion and a quiet wisdom that made this so moving without being bleak. It’s mostly a three-person play with Leo and Tris learning from Edwin’s life choices and regrets - I cried every now and then and loved every moment. Matthew Lloyd Davies provides a caring and sensitive narration with great pacing and emotion.

Beautiful and moving romance!
