My Coney Island Baby

Description

‘A poignant, piercing meditation on middle age and the passing of time… will linger with you long after the book is closed’ Guardian *SHORTLISTED FOR THE ENCORE AWARD 2020*On a bitterly cold winter’s afternoon, Michael and Caitlin escape their unhappy marriages to keep an illicit rendezvous. Once a month, for the past quarter of a century, Coney Island has been their haven; these precious, hidden hours their only nourishment. But now, amid the howling of an angry snowstorm, the shut-down, out-of-season resort feels like the edge of the world. And their lives, suddenly, are on the brink – with news of serious illness on one side, and a move to the Midwest on the other.
