It's Behind Us

There are things a man never tells anyone. Not his mother, not a mate. Sometimes not even himself.

Natan knows Warsaw by night, deals that end with a handshake and people you don't say no to. He has a son who beats him at chess and a past he would give anything to leave behind.

For a woman he met on a cold bench by the sea, he packs his whole life into a borrowed van and drives three hundred kilometres north. A new city. A flat with sapphire walls. Mornings with fresh bread and the cry of gulls. A woman beside whom, for the first time in years, he does not have to pretend.

Or so he thought.

It's Behind Us is the same story told by the one who stayed longest on the bench. A novel about a love that comes when you no longer expect it, about trust that costs more than money, about the lies people tell to protect the ones they love, and about the moment when everything weighs more than you do.

Honest, intimate and impossible to forget. A man's heart, without the armour.

Who is this book for?
• For anyone who has ever started over somewhere new for another person
• For readers who want to know what a man really feels and never says
• For those who know that every story has a second side
• For readers of psychological fiction who want to feel, not just read

A novel inspired by true events. Names and places have been changed. The emotions have not.

No embellishment. Just as it was.
