Details

From the rear cover

'A writer with heart, soul, and a dark and naughty wit, one whose company you relish and trust' Observer

On a clear, crisp summer's day in Cornwall, a young man carefully prepares to take his own life, and asks family friend, Barnaby Johnson, to pray with him. Barnaby - priest, husband and father - has always tried to do good, though life hasn't always been rosy. Lenny's request poses problems, not just for Barnaby, but for his wife and family, and the wider community, as the secrets of the past push themselves forcefully into the present for all to see.

'This being Gale there's a compelling tale to be told . . . a convincing, moving account of man's struggle with faith, marriage and morality' Sunday Times

'A thoughtful and moving novel about love, morality and faith. Marvellous' Mail on Sunday

'A heartfelt, cleverly constructed read' Independent on Sunday
