Love, loss, and the shadows of morality collide in David Allaun's gripping novel, No Offence.
Retired doctor Frank Wilkinson has spent a lifetime confronting mortality, but nothing prepares him for the fateful trip with his wife, Margaret, to Switzerland that changes everything. When he returns alone, he finds himself the focus of a legal confrontation - accused of assisting in his wife's suicide.
As the truth behind her death unravels, Frank is forced to address the ghosts of their past, the complexities of their love, and the secrets they carried. With the boundaries between guilt and devotion blurring, No Offence is a deeply moving exploration of life, and the choices that define us.
Drawing on his own experiences as a doctor, David Allaun delivers a mesmerizing and thought-provoking novel that lingers long after the final page. More than just a legal drama, this is a deeply human story - one that will leave readers questioning everything they thought they knew about life, death, and the space in between.
Perfect for fans of Andrew O'Hagan's Mayflies, No Offence is a novel for grown-ups - an unforgettable meditation on love's endurance and the echoes of those we leave behind.
