"When a friend gives Will Pagett two weeks at a beach house in Cornwall for his fortieth birthday, he invites his aging parents along. But the cottage and the stretch of sand before it seem somehow familiar, and memories of a summer long ago begin to surface. Deftly navigating the terrain between our inner and outer lives, Patrick Gale has written an unforgettable novel about the lies that adults tell and the small acts of treason that children can commit."
