When the sun sets, Nightingale Point is irrevocably changed and somehow, through the darkness, the residents must find a way back to lightness, and back to each other. It's a day like any other, until something extraordinary happens. Pamela wants to run back to Malachi but her overprotective father has locked her in and there's no way out. Elvis is trying hard to remember to the instructions his care worker gave him, but sometimes he gets confused and forgets things. No wonder he's falling in with the wrong crowd, without Malachi to keep him straight. Tristan wishes Malachi would stop pining for Pamela. Between looking after Tristan and nursing a broken heart, he feels older than his twenty-one years. Mary has a secret life that no one knows about, not even Malachi and Tristan, the brothers she vowed to look after. finely crafted, compassionate’ Guardian ‘A warm, confident writer with the lightest of touches’ Observer * * * On an ordinary Saturday morning in 1996, the residents of Nightingale Point wake up to their normal lives and worries.
