About the book

"Lucas's brother Thomas is dying. His blood platelet count has suddenly and catastrophically fallen, for reasons his doctors are finding hard to establish; on the Ile de Re in south-western France, the holiday home of their childhood, the two brothers wait for Lucas to die." "Lucas interweaves the chronicle of his brother's death with memories of their childhood and adolescence, their jealousies and rivalries, their unspoken bonds, beside which the wider world - parents, partners, friends - fade into relative insignificance. As those around them withdraw from this inexplicable, inexorable death, Lucas and Thomas retreat to their childhood paradise to wait for the end."--BOOK JACKET.
