Publisher's Summary
An exquisitely told tragic tale of thwarted love, My Policeman is soon to be adapted into film by Amazon Prime starring Harry Styles and Emma Corrin.
It is in 1950s Brighton that Marion first catches sight of Tom. He teaches her to swim in the shadow of the pier, and Marion is smitten - determined her love will be enough for them both.
A few years later, in Brighton Museum, Patrick meets Tom. Patrick is besotted with Tom and opens his eyes to a glamorous, sophisticated new world.
Tom is their policeman, and in this age, it is safer for him to marry Marion. The two lovers must share him until one of them breaks and three lives are destroyed.
Critic Reviews
"I loved it. Devoured it! A wonderful read. Tense, romantic, smart; a beautiful portrait of a seaside town poised at an exact moment in history, with people trapped by laws and mores." (Russell T. Davies on Instagram)

Captivating and deeply moving
The powerful performances of the two narrators brilliantly support this powerful story of a tragic injustice and an enduring love.

My Policeman
This story is so beautifully heartbreaking with its themes of lost time and heartbreak. This novel encapsulates these themes in a way that draws you in and causes you to hold onto every word being told. It’s such a beautiful read and so so heartbreaking. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Beautiful and sad story of love
And equally beautiful narration, I’ve watched the movie first before the book and loved it hence looked for the book as I know the book version is always better with its depth that just couldn’t be captured in film.

A captivating read
What a terribly beautiful, raw, vulnerable and messy book! 😭 Can't wait for the movie!

A story of silence and repression
I think I enjoyed this story. I feel awful for poor Marion and Patrick. I don't feel bad for Tom, who I wish was braver. I understand the pressure that would have been on him in that time, but he also had a choice to not subject and then blame two people for it. I wish Marion found true love and that Patrick and Tom could have lived an authentic life together.
