Synopsis

An extraordinary new novel from a unique storyteller, Love is Strange is rich in the cultural detail of Britain throughout the second half of the twentieth century as it charts one family's moral decline. Clifford, Annette and their parents Gillian and Arthur move through the 1950s into the psychedelic sixties in wholly surprising ways as their troubled family life results in devastating consequences.

Media Reviews
'Connolly is, at his best, a writer of considerable power and some subtlety.' Jem Poster, Guardian 'This is a book that begins with a deceptively ordinary portrayal of a suburban family, and accelerates into a dark and painful narrative depicting betrayal, murder and exploitation. It is an exciting and powerful novel.' Beryl Bainbridge
