The sensational new novel from the highly-acclaimed author of Dreamland

It is Elleâs job to manage disasters.
 

But lately things have started to spin out of control.
 

At work, the latest catastrophe has been live-streamed to the nation. A shock election sees an extreme-right coalition storm to power. Then, on a night so hot it feels like Londonâs pavements are melting, she meets Ed.
 

Elle and Ed are not meant to be drawn to each other. Elle has only ever been attracted to women, and Ed, billed as âthe great gay novelist of our timesâ, is about to release his first book. But something inexplicable sparks between them.
 

Can the unexpected attraction they feel last when it presents such a profound challenge to their identity? And as the country fractures and the heat rises, how will they choose between the people theyâve known themselves to be â" and the people they are willing to become.
 

Both an unforgettable love story and a state-of-the-nation thriller, My Only Boy asks universal questions about desire, complicity and what happens when your sense of self collapses along with the world around you.
