Things Don’t Break On Their Own

Twenty-five years later, it's time to pick up the pieces...The table is set, the candles are flickering, the wine has been poured. Eight people gather for a dinner party. Partners, lovers, friends, strangers.But one of them has a secret - the kind of secret so explosive that it might be impossible to stop it rising to the surface. The kind of secret with the power to shatter everything the group thinks they know about each other, and about themselves...Tense, shocking, and deeply moving, Things Don't Break on their Own is a compulsive debut about how our memories shape us, and the lies we tell to escape them.'So so so good. A bruising, brilliant and beautiful mystery. An elegant, twisting story of loss and longing, of the ache of the unknown and the drowning weight of past trauma. A very special debut' CHRIS WHITAKER, NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WE BEGIN AT THE END
