In her third novel, Riley charts the peculiar final reckoning of a highly charged romance, exploring the possibility of human connection as two young people try to reconcile themselves to all of life’s bad endings, and give some meaning to their mayfly existences.

Gwendoline Rileys work profoundly explores human relationships + I enjoyed both of her last 2 books. In this earlier novel, the focus is on a young woman in Manchester who makes a trip to N Carolina to meet an old lover Joshua. In a run-down motel, they are intimate emotionally and physically as the author also describes encounters between them and strangers in the town. Intriguing, this short book absorbed me + made me want reread her other work
