Leo's memories become clearer with every road he takes, much as he wishes he could simply forget. Wanting to preserve the passion of their relationship, Leo had forced Thomas to live separately: in separate rooms, separate towns, with separate lives. But now, face to face with true solitude, Leo must finally reckon with the impossible striving of memory to recreate life and, ultimately, cross an ocean to find the strength to go on.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46449901371550,"sku":"ADS-9781399734509","price":32.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781399734509.jpg?v=1769573290","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781399734509","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
