'A luminous chronicle of betrayal, sacrifice and creative ambition'
The Observer

‘By the book’s close, readers will be clamouring for an extra curtain call’
Guardian

Once a year, ballet-obsessed Carlisle Martin spends a few precious weeks with her father Robert and his partner James at their enchanted apartment in Greenwich Village. Time spent with them is impossibly glamorous, filled with art, dance, beauty, books, and grown-ups who take her seriously as they battle the AIDS crisis.

Then, one summer, a devastating betrayal sees her exiled from their world.

Now in her 40s, Carlisle has forged a successful career as a choreographer and hasn’t seen Robert or James in nearly twenty years, when James calls to summon her to her dying father’s bedside…

They're Going to Love You, with its masterfully revealed secret at its heart, asks what it takes to be an artist, and the price of forgiveness, of ambition, and of love.

‘In this finger-trap puzzle of a plot, the pull of the past meets the pressures of the present’
