'A hugely gifted writer.' ANN PATCHETT
'Cole's storytelling rings so true.' MAGGIE SHIPSTEAD

The stunning, timely second novel, effortlessly blending the intimate and the wide-screen, from this emerging, must-read US author.

Three's a crowd.

Emmett and Joel are half-brothers, but they couldn't be more different: Emmett is single and working in a vast Cargo Distribution Centre in Kentucky, while Joel is a married academic and published writer. For the first time in years, the two of them are back together in the family home, just as Joel's wife, Alice, starts to yearn for a different kind of lifestyle.

Both wide-screen and intimate, Fulfillment is a beautifully written and absorbing portrayal of three people's changing hopes and dreams, further marking Lee Cole out as one of today's must-read, young authors.

'A great new talent.' NICKOLAS BUTLER
'An exciting new voice.' WASHINGTON POST
