12 Essays In Love
Andy Matheson - 2018
As they tentatively grow closer, they discover why a red Lego brick is a cure for a blank magnolia wall, how lives are inextricably linked to the power in a mobile phone battery, how shoelaces can become a moment of pure eroticism and how a text message can change your life. But when Ruth is caught up in a terror attack in central London, their budding relationship is turned on its head.

The author has composed and recorded a soundtrack album, one song for each chapter. The ideal way to experience this is to read and then listen; or the other way around.
