Youngster

FROM THE LUCY CAVENDISH 2020 FICTION PRIZE SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF THE WATCH

NO ONE COMES BETWEEN THIS MOTHER AND DAUGHTER

Georgie and her mother Cherry have had their ups and downs. But now they're devoted to each other - and when Cherry learns that she's in the early stages of dementia, Georgie is with her every step of the way...

...Until she can't be. And that's when he steps into her mother's life. The one who's been waiting, watching, whispering.

In turns deeply moving and deeply chilling, The Youngster is about one woman's spiralling descent when her mother is taken away from her by a damaged younger man.
