'Empathetic honest compelling. I'll read anything Paddy Crewe writes.' Bonnie Garmus author
of Lessons in Chemistry'True Love had me from its gorgeous lyrical opening to its transcendent
final pages. Paddy Crewe is an exceptionally gifted writer.' Louise Kennedy author of
Trespasses--------What does it mean to love and be loved?It is the 1980s and Finn and Keely are
growing up in the North East of England. Keely is a fighter. Even in the face of loss she
strives to seek connection but finds that she's not always searching in the right places. Finn
is quiet sensitive distant. He spends much of his time alone yet deep down he wants to
discover the thrill of relating to others. When the two finally meet everything is changed.
Love - with all of its attendant joys and costs - is thrust upon them and each must decide if
they will bend or break under its pressure. True Love is a story of the trials of youth the
bonds of family and friendship and of how much we are willing to risk to have ourselves be
seen.
