description: In the past the universe is a glitterball I hold in the palm of my hand. In the past I am brilliant and I am happy and my every tomorrow is madness. In the past I am soaring and falling and breaking and lost. And now there is only this. Once the golden boy of the English literary scene now a clinically depressed writer of pulp crime fiction Ash Winters has given up on hope happiness andmost of allhimself. He lives his life between the cycles of his illness haunted by the ghosts of other people's expectations. Then a chance encounter throws him into the path of Essex-born Darian Taylor. Flashy and loud radiant and full of life Darian couldn't be more different...and yet he makes Ash laugh reminding him of what it's like to step beyond the boundaries of his anxiety. But Ash has been living in his own shadow for so long that he can no longer see a way out. Can a man who doesn't trust himself ever trust in happiness? And how can someone who doesn't believe in happiness ever fight for his own?
