Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize: From the creator of Luther
comes a gripping tale of the deep bonds between father and son
Always the Sun finds one man pushed past his limit, walking a
wobbly line between safeguarding and carnage. While mourning the
death of his wife and chasing away the darkness with a bottle,
widower Sam looks for a fresh start. Dragging his frail
thirteen-year-old son, Jamie, with him, Sam abandons their life in
Hackney to return to his hometown. On the outside, things appear to
be improving: Sam finds a job as a nurse at a local psychiatric
hospital, his older sister continues to offer whatever emotional
support she can, and Jamie enrolls at Churchill Comprehensive. But
Jamie seems to be having trouble fitting in at school. A group of
kids led by a particularly savage bully target the boy on his very
first day, and the administration is apathetic at best and
complicit in Jamie's continued torment at worst. A meeting with the
bully's father yields no answers, and soon after, Jamie comes home
bearing real, physical scars. Sam is left at a crossroads. With no
one able or willing to help, how far will he go to protect his
child?
