A short, vivid, wry debut novel from a fresh literary voice who has just won a New Writers Award from the Scottish Book Trust. Set in the haze of an unusually hot Edinburgh summer, Summer Hours is a story about youth and desire, class and wealth, secrets and mistakes, sex and obsession.
It''s a hot Edinburgh summer, and Roisin’s life is stagnating. She spends her days cancelling plans, skipping work and drinking lukewarm wine in the bathtub with her best friend Eve.When their wealthy mutual friend Claire offers Roisin a significant amount of money under the guise of ‘freelance work,’ Roisin thinks her luck might finally be changing. But Claire’s proposal is not all it seems, and soon Roisin finds herself trapped. Paralysed by both her intense infatuation with Eve and her secret arrangement with Claire, Roisin must walk a delicate line to avoid losing what matters to her most.''A spry tale of friendship and desire, best inhaled in a single sitting. Summer Hours is astute, funny, and fizzing with life'' – Malachy Tallack
