About this audiobook
On a suffocating Christmas evening, Jamie retreats to the cold kitchen to wash glasses and escape his in-laws’ chatter. The clink of crystal and the trickle of water loosen memories he has long tried to bury: a blistering August bank holiday, a hot moon over Scarlingsea beach, and Debbie, bright and reckless, on the edge of everything. As reflections shift in the darkened window and sand seems to gather beneath his feet, past and present begin to merge. Washing Up is a taut, atmospheric story of guilt, desire and the inescapable undertow of memory.
