About the Book

It's the Spring of 1955 and tensions are running high. Fifteen-year-old James is left alone in his local salon, frequented regularly by the rest of his family. While simply there to get his locks cut, however, he ends up discovering something that will ripple throughout the rest of the family and have devastating effects on his life to come. Discovering a love letter written by his mother to the owner of the salon, Alec MacAulsin, James has no idea what to do with the illicit information he's now privy to. Even worse, Alec has left the young boy with his friend Rita, while he goes out day drinking with James's father, who's also his best friend and totally unaware of his relationship. Left alone, James and Rita strike up a bond, becoming fiercely close over tales of her life, her lesbianism, and her dead lover, Alice. Rita does most of the talking, but her stories get James thinking about his own life; his relationship with his parents, his own wandering sexuality and desires, and his own insecurities. The two come to know each other more than anyone else, and James is inspired to share the letter he found in the salon. Over the course of a number of short intervals intertwined within the core of the novel, Murray Nicol offers a raw and challenging piece of literature addressing dreams, memories and aspirations that are so often left unspoken about.
