LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2025'A quietly devastating masterpiece'. MARIAN KEYES'Adam is a master storyteller.' SARA COLLINS'Love Forms achieves a sort of alchemy.' FINANCIAL TIMES'Reads like a Claire Keegan short story expanded by Elizabeth Strout.' THE TIMESIn the heart-aching new novel from the author of the award-winning Golden Child, a mother searches for the daughter she left behind a lifetime ago.Trinidad, 1980: Dawn Bishop, aged 16, leaves her home and journeys across the sea to Venezuela. There, she gives birth to a baby girl, and leaves her with nuns to be given up for adoption.Dawn tries to carry on with her life - a move to England, a marriage, a career, two sons, a divorce - but through it all, she still thinks of the child she had in Venezuela, and of what might have been.Then, forty years later, a woman from an internet forum gets in touch. She says that she might be Dawn's long-lost daughter, stirring up a complicated mix of feelings: could this be the person to give form to all the love and care a mother has left to offer?'From the very first page, I knew I was in the hands of a master storyteller. An utterly arresting tale of love and grief, of the wounding and healing powers of family, of the many guises of a mother's love. It's an absolute triumph.'SARA COLLINS'Exquisitely written. A compelling and tender story of what - and who - is hidden in almost every family that feels as old as the hills and yet acutely contemporary.'MONIQUE ROFFEY'An arresting voice that made me think of silk: its delicate beauty belies its intrinsic strength.'CLAIRE KILROY'A compelling read taking us to the heart of difficult family situations and evocative secret places.'ROMESH GUNESEKERA
