The Golden Hour

Trade Paperback

She loves him. She's happy. But could she be happier?

'Capturing humour in the small, perfectly skewered moments of everyday life, this is a story of small, largely middle-class lives enclave, made golden by the light that Nicholson shines on them' Sunday Times

'Nicholson is a subtle and addictive writer who deserves to be a household name' Observer

Maggie and Andrew are lovers who live apart - Maggie in the country, Andrew in town. When Andrew is offered a job close to Maggie, moving in with her is the obvious next step.

Or is it? Is this the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with?

Maggie panics. She ends their relationship, devastating Andrew. But when he turns the tables on her, she begins to see him differently.

Meanwhile, Maggie's Sussex neighbours are living through their own intense dilemmas. The stories of Maggie and other characters entwine in a continuous dance over seven golden days of high summer - a human kaleidoscope that captures how passionate yet mundane, painful yet comic our everyday lives can be.

These are seven golden days of summer ... time enough for relationships to change for ever...
