The Same Ledge

Behind the postcard imagery of London, the darkest parts of the city house some of the saddest stories. When Michael met Cameron, they were two boys who shared a bond and a ledge, an escape from their turbulent and violent home lives. But when Michael leaves, their lives drift apart into dramatically different directions until the events of the past bring them back together. They are no longer boys, but the ledge remains. Can they save themselves? Can they save one another? This raw debut from Daniel James is a literary fiction that delves into fragile friendships, social inequality and mental health.
