Publishers Weekly
Kenworthy is a master of the believable, and here he has written a stingingly bittersweet novel.
Interzone
A fabulous, assured debut novel. Events are brilliantly, sometimes perfectly described. The Winter Inside is unreservedly recommended.
The Third Alternative
Kenworthy's debut novel is exceptional. It's a fierce and combative piece of work.
Time Out
From the start, Kenworthy's skill with words blazes through. He plants ideas in subtle and disturbing ways. Kenworthy really is a natural storyteller.
The Australian
He's adept at quick-stroking atmosphere and plausible characters. An impressive debut.
Product Description
Nick is a bored, thirty-something art teacher. Wendy is an aspiring young artist, whose family life is killing her. Nick and Wendy meet and fall in love, and their world starts to spin out of control. In London they explore the limits of their bodies. In Bath they seal old wounds. In Leicester they ditch normality, throwing themselves into a summer that will stain them forever. As relationships blend and friendships strain, they travel through obscure towns to the mountains of Skye, driven on by the man who pursues them. Christopher Kenworthy has written a beautiful and extraordinary tale of warped need and love on the run.
