Synopsis
Simon Austen is serving a life sentence for murder. Intelligent but illiterate, charming but also damaged, brutal and manipulative, he admits to what he's done but his motives are far from clear, even to himself. Then Simon learns to read and write. From his high security prison he begins an illicit correspondence with a series of women. The more he learns - about them and about himself - the higher the stakes become. Simon finds himself on a perilous, unpredictable and sometimes hilarious journey as he stumbles towards self-knowledge and redemption.

Review
'Kathy Page's novel is a claustrophobic page-turner focused on a manipulative young man called Simon, who's serving a life sentence for having strangled his girlfriend... Page makes his journey towards partial redemption an intriguing one.' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
