Two Cities. Four Strangers. Infinite Possibilities.
by Karen Fagan
Exploring love and its loss, LGBTQ relationships and friendships, and the deception of self and others, this fresh, funny, sparkling debut novel follows the crises and triumphs of four increasingly intertwined lives across Dublin and London in 2006-2007. Perfect for fans of Tales of the City.
Jo is struggling to rebuild her life in Dublin, now that girlfriend Louise has left her for a closeted children's television presenter.
In London, Rob has fallen in love with older man Michael but is growing impatient with Michael's commitment to the incessant demands of his recently bereaved mother.
Unable to manage his diabetes, middle-aged Noel has moved in with relations in Croydon, where continuing his secret life becomes increasingly risky. Worried about his waning client-base, he desperately needs to make new contacts.
Rachel has left home for a marketing job near London. As she settles into her new social and judo circles and and starts dating Stuart, she gets an unwanted visit from Kim, who threatens to reveal what happened between them the previous summer.
