Please contact the bookshop via bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com or call 07597365380. \nOne of our booksellers will lead the book club\, and the group will be split up into smaller groups in breakout rooms to discuss the questions. A Zoom link will be emailed to ticketholders prior to the event starting. \nWe always ask that you be respectful and kind whilst discussing the book and others’ opinions of it. \nAbout The Book \nAn ambitious young artist accidentally photographs a boy falling to his death—an image that could jumpstart her career but that would also devastate her most intimate friendship. \nLu Rile is a relentlessly focused young photographer struggling to make ends meet. Working three jobs\, responsible for her aging father\, and worrying that the crumbling warehouse she lives in is being sold to developers\, she is at a point of desperation. One day\, in the background of a self-portrait\, Lu accidentally captures on film a boy falling past her window to his death. The photograph turns out to be startlingly gorgeous\, the best work of art she’s ever made. It’s an image that could change her life…if she lets it. \nBut the decision to show the photograph is not easy. The boy is her neighbors’ son\, and the tragedy brings all the building’s residents together. It especially unites Lu with the boy’s grieving mother\, Kate. As the two forge an intense bond based on sympathy\, loneliness\, and budding attraction\, Lu feels increasingly unsettled and guilty\, torn between equally fierce desires: to use the photograph to advance her career and to protect a woman she has come to love.
