he falls in love
When Ray finds himself increasingly frustrated by a maladjusted community and an illness he'll never control, events spiral towards inevitable tragedy
" beautifully written It's dark material, but Penhall handles it with a light touch. He doesn't romanticize Ray, neither does he vilify his brother, and their relationship is riveting" ~ Independent (London)
" a sensitive and entirely unsentimental work in which every character suffers more than he or she deserves purposeful, but it isn't polemical. The characters are too carefully and credibly drawn for that" ~ NY Times
