Description
This exquisitely told tragic tale of thwarted love is set in 1950s Brighton, where Marion first sees Tom, who teaches her to swim beneath the pier. Marion is smitten and determined that her love will be enough for them both. A few years later, Patrick meets Tom at Brighton Museum and becomes besotted with him, opening Tom’s eyes to a glamorous, sophisticated new world. Tom is their policeman, and in an age when it is safer for him to marry Marion, the two lovers must share him until one of them breaks and three lives are destroyed. The novel is being adapted into a film by Amazon Prime starring Harry Styles and Emma Corrin. Russell T. Davies describes it as tense, romantic and intelligent, as well as a beautiful portrait of a seaside town caught at an exact moment in history, with its people trapped by laws and social conventions.
