Perfect by Rachel Joyce
Set against the backdrop of 1970s England, this poignant novel weaves together the lives of two young boys, Byron and James, whose world is turned upside down by a seemingly minor accident that spirals into a series of life-altering events. As Byron becomes consumed by guilt and fear, he embarks on a journey to rectify the past, while grappling with the complexities of friendship, family, and the passage of time. Intertwined with the story of Jim, a man struggling with his own demons in the present day, the narrative explores themes of innocence, redemption, and the profound impact of seemingly insignificant moments.
