'A masterpiece, a perfect book' David Nicholls

Discover this unmissable modern classic where the fragile friendship between two teenage boys has devastating consequences that echo throughout the years.

**AS SEEN ON BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS** WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ANN PATCHETT

Away from the quiet farmlands of Illinois, two lonely teenagers bound by the burden of their home lives forge a delicate friendship. But when jealousy ignites in one of their families, it leads to unthinkable tragedy, and severs the two boys' bond forever.

Fifty years later, haunted by the past, the narrator seeks to piece together those harrowing events and find redemption for a lifetime of regret. So Long, See You Tomorrow is a haunting exploration of memory, loss, and the enduring quest for forgiveness.
