Review
Tom is in crisis – he’s been sacked from his job teaching in a north London comprehensive for a forbidden relationship. And now it seems Mel is pregnant, though she denies the child is his – not that anyone believes her, especially not school or her dad. Tom escapes north to Oxford, where his twin sister lives. Brought together by their respective siblings, Dora and Tom spend a night together in Wales that changes their perspective on their own problems, with potentially tragic results. — Honno
