Love, Love Me Do, written by Mark Haysom, is out today (31 July). 1963. The year the Beatles first top the charts. The year Martin Luther King…

…has a dream. The year Truman Bird moves his family from their home in Brighton to a dilapidated caravan in the Ashdown Forest – then disappears.

Truman’s a charmer, a chancer. He is, inevitably, a liar. He’s always got away with it, too. But now he’s gone a dangerous step too far and only has one day to put things right – before he loses everything.

Praise for Love, Love Me Do from The Irish Independent: “this novel is both original and stylish. The backdrop is affectionately depicted…The poignant episodes between Baxter and the silent ‘Soldier’ are beautifully crafted.”
