Still Falling

‘The rain was still falling, but the dark had parted…’

F Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

 

Luke falls. He has epilepsy.

And, as it turns out, he has much bigger issues too.

Esther falls. In love.

It’s wonderful – but there’s a shadow that she can’t identify and she can’t make go away just by loving Luke.

Luke’s experience has taught him to despise himself; Esther’s self-belief is fragile. And love is not as easy as it looks. Will they be still falling at the end of term?
