About this listen

A chance encounter on a park bench in the subtropical dark. A one-night stand. And suddenly young, Scottish Jonty finds himself involved with Canary Islander Theo across 2,000 miles of silver sea. But matters become complicated when a previous adventure comes back to haunt Jonty—as Nigerian Maxwell turns up homeless at Jonty's door in Glasgow; when Theo's sister disappears to Canada with one of Jonty's friends; when ex-pupil Chris makes further demands on Jonty's heart and time.

Set on one of the most beautiful islands of the Atlantic, Tenerife shines a spotlight on the things that conspire to separate us—language, politics, oceans, cultures—and how love, in its many different forms, can lift the barricades. Disfruta!

Overall a good story, however I feel at times it rambled on a bit about irrelevant things, such as going about languages. This didn't really add anything to the plot, and came across more as the ramblings of an old man.
On that subject, as much as I love Anthony McDonalds books, I feel they were would be better if they were read by someone closer to the characters ages.

overall good
