Description

A couple's relationship is put to the test as they drive from London to coastal Provence. Anya feels an unequal and precarious connection with her partner, Luke, who gives away little about his feelings. As they plan their wedding, Anya's unease grows, stemming from a childhood escape from Sarajevo where security was alien. The past she sought to contain begins to resurface, forcing Anya to confront the idea of security and its many borders - between men and women, assimilation and otherness, nations, families, order and chaos. As the summer builds to a startling climax, the boundaries governing their lives are pushed to breaking point. This novel explores the complexities of human relationships and the ways in which our lives are shaped by the borders that govern them.
