"Sam is a lonely young man with a troubled psyche. Dogged by an incident in his past, Sam works on the family farm instead of attending school in his Yorkshire village. He likes to keep to himself, but from the moment he lays eyes on Josephine, his new neighbour from London, this careful seclusion starts to crumble. What begins as friendship soon takes an unsettling turn, and as the pair sets out on the run, Sam's imagination is revealed to be capable of much more than innocent games. Harrowing, funny and poignant - an explosive debut novel from a new international talent."--Publisher.
