Description
The 1950s, Brighton. Tom teaches Marion to swim, gently buoying her in the water beneath the shadow of the famous city pier, and she falls in love with him during this time. She is convinced that this will be enough for their relationship to work. A few years later, Tom encounters Patrick near the Brighton Museum. Patrick is enchanted and opens the door for Tom into a new, fascinating, and sophisticated world of art, travel, and beauty. However, Tom is a policeman, and at this time, it is safer for him to marry Marion and meet Patrick in secret. Marion and Patrick share Tom for as long as it takes until one of them breaks. In this evocative portrait of 1950s England, Bethan Roberts reimagines the true love triangle of policeman Bob Buckingham, his wife, and writer E. M. Forster. It is a deeply felt story about the passionate endurance of love and the destruction wrought by a repressive society.
