Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is a story about love. Love for nine-year-old twins Jon and Eden Hardacre is simple. Their mum, the creek that they swim in, each other - this is the love that they trust, love as clear and pure as sunlight, as honey, as water. But then there's a terrible accident. And in its wake, they develop a desperation - a yearning - to outgrow tragedy. They grow up, compete with each other, fall in love with the same girl, and begin to realise that their lives - and who they love - demands something more. Something deeper. Richer. Heart-hammeringly original, intense and deeply moving, We Were Not Men is a powerhouse novel about all the various faces that love shows us and how sometimes, distracted by life, ambition or attraction, we take it for granted until it's too late - or almost too late. An unforgettable novel about the difference between getting older and growing up, from an astonishing new and original voice, pulsing with grief, hope and love. It is a revelation. 'We were sons, we were brothers. I didn't know how to be either.' Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781460759523
