Allen & Unwin True Things About Me book Literary fiction English Paperback 224 pages

He was there with me. His hair shining in the moonlight. I thought that now we could be together. His blue eyes were strangely black. Your turn, he whispered, and lifted me up. I tried to lock my arms around his neck, but he was immensely strong. He held me away from him out beyond the rail, and then he let me go into the dark. When the narrator of True Things About Me meets a charismatic man at work, they quickly begin to build a life together. But what lies beneath is a relationship immersed in lust and obsession. When her lover's visits become increasingly erratic, and she takes a decision to delve into his past, their relationship begins to unravel. With great honesty and unexpected humour, Deborah Kay Davies takes us deep into the mind of her unforgettable protagonist, and in doing so asks us to consider seriously what we might sacrifice for our desires.
