Radcliffe Road

By Betty Valentine

Some stories have to be buried before they can bloom.

London 1958: George has always been overlooked - by his sharp-tongued wife, by his colleagues who dismiss him for his stammer, by a society that refuses to see beyond the surface. But tucked away in the back of the garden shed, surrounded by flowerpots and Wellington boots, he discovers something extraordinary...the forbidden love of another man.

Brighton 2012: Living quietly in a care home, George is preparing to write the story of his life - the true version that was hidden for decades. What begins as a simple contribution to a time capsule becomes a reckoning with a love he was never allowed to voice out loud.

Radcliffe Road is a tender, heart-wrenching tale of friendship, quiet courage and hidden desire; it explores what it means to hide your heart in plain sight - and what happens when you finally set it free.

Unearth and cherish this charming LGBTQ+ novel, perfect for fans of Matt Cain and Neil Alexander.
