-
A scorching psychological drama about family, betrayal and the limits of forgiveness from debut novelist Ross Watkins. Adrian Pomeroy teaches English at an all-boys school 'full of bullshit artists in blazers'. When he finds himself the centre of an allegation that might end his career, his life starts to unravel in spectacular fashion. With a police investigation underway, Adrian turns to his detective brother for help, but Noel is battling crippling demons of his own. As the repercussions of this one accusation lead to the implosion of Adrian's family, he can no longer ignore the secrets buried in his own past. The Apology is an explosive and shocking portrait of the lies we tell ourselves and each other in order to survive.
