A heartbreaking, uplifting book about the transformative power of love. Rothko Taylor has washed ashore again in Edgecliff, the rough little coastal town. Twenty years ago, Rothko left. And suddenly, the past is rushing towards him at breakneck speed: the kids on skateboards just like before, the cracked benches overlooking the sea where Mum used to sit clutching cans. The one nice spot in town where, despite everything, his father failed in his attempt to build a happy home. And then there's Dionne's block of flats. The beautiful, extraordinary Dionne, the only person who ever truly looked at Rothko and saw what was there. Back then, he was overwhelmed by sheer terror, sinking beneath the surface into chaos. But he made it out alive. And this time, Rothko is absolutely determined that things will be different. In *A Lifetime of Searching*, Kae Tempest tells a powerful and inimitable story of family and forgiveness, redemption and atonement, longing and devotion. It's about the things we seek when we hide, and about what finds us when we reveal ourselves. New product
