    Summary

    “Not much point asking if you've a girl back home, is there, Paddy?” David says.

    It’s not said with any particular malice in the tone. If anything, it sounds fond. But Paddy still feels a very familiar lick of danger travel up his spine. “Why’s that,” he asks, flat.

    David looks to Jock then shrugs and spreads his hands. “Well. You know.”

    “In fact, I do not know,” Paddy says. And then, the devil taking hold of his tongue, he lies, “In fact there is a girl for me, back home.”

    Summary

    It has been two years and four months since he has heard Eoin’s voice

    Paddy takes a shuddering breath, fixes his gaze on the lapping water in front of him. Eoin has never spoken to him before, had always remained that perfect image lingering on the edge of his vision, haunting him. A reminder of what he had lost, what he yearns for, the other half of him that has been missing now for longer than Paddy had had him. He hasn’t allowed himself to think like this. Been easier to pretend that Paddy is repenting for an unmatched love, a debased desire, the sinful revisionist rewriting of history. That it hadn’t happened at all.

    Summary

    На дворе 1998 год, выпускники школы Катлера давно окончили Оксфорд и живут каждый своей жизнью. Дональд Скриппс — счастливый отец семейства и довольно преуспевающий журналист — никак не ожидает, что импровизированная встреча выпускников, затеянная Дейкином, может так круто перевернуть его привычную жизнь. Не думает, что скоро ему придётся заново определить для себя, что такое долг, верность, грех, любовь. В чём стоит и в чём не стоит раскаиваться.
