Insightful and full of understanding and warmth, Patrick Gale s FRIENDLY FIRE is a richly compelling story of adolescence, sexuality and the lessons we carry forever.

An intense tale of love, life, intellectualism and passion. Inspirational Daily Express
Utterly compelling from first to last Stephen Fry

Sophie, an orphan in love with learning, is sure she will thrive in Tatham s, an esteemed boarding school, having survived years of institutional living. But she soon finds herself lost among its cliques and rituals. Befriending two teenage boys, she experiences the first ache of futile love, then a brilliant teacher s inappropriate attention to one of the trio threatens to destroy them all. Sophie swiftly realizes that there are tougher lessons to absorb outside the schoolroom - of class, sex, families and the emotional disaster they can bring to even the most privileged lives.

Patrick Gale was born on the Isle of Wight. He spent his infancy at Wandsworth Prison, which his father governed, then grew up in Winchester before going to Oxford University. He now lives on a farm near Land s End. One of this country s best-loved novelists, his most recent works are A Perfectly Good Man, the Richard and Judy bestseller Notes From An Exhibition, the Costa-shortlisted A Place Called Winter and Take Nothing With You. His original BBC television drama, Man In An Orange Shirt, was shown to great acclaim in 2017 as part of the BBC s Queer Britannia series, leading viewers around the world to discover his novels.
