A touching paean to lost innocence and the comfort of friendships, its dark undertow leavened by stout Yorkshire humour

I absolutely adore it!
Marian Keyes
Godfrey succeeds brilliantly in fitting a gripping and moving story in the interstices of a horrific episode in recent history, without ever trivialising, taking focus from, or minimising the lasting impact of the original crimes.
