Antony Dobson has lived through a lot in his short twenty-six years.
Desperate, loveable and utterly confused, he gets a kick out of taking
risks, gets a thrill from taking himself right to the edge and, so far
at least, back again. But haunted by childhood memories and guarding a
dark, humiliating secret that he dare not reveal, he's hurtling fast
towards the point of no return.

Impressive and irresistibly readable, this tight-rope-walk of a novel
explores memory, love, identity, and absence in a dazzling display
that is in turn sad, witty and deeply affecting.
