**Rothko Taylor is back in their hometown after fifteen years away. Can life turn out differently this time? 'If books can still change the world, this one most likely will' COLUM MCCANN 'A wonderful, moving and enlightening state-of-Britain novel' IRVINE WELSH 'A hallelujah of a book. A scorching story of love, change, homecoming and forgiveness' DAWN FRENCH** Rothko Taylor has washed up with the tide, back in their hometown, Edgecliff. Fifteen years since they left it behind. The past is accelerating towards them: the skateboard kids on the high street that remind them of their teenage years, the splintered benches looking out to sea, where their mum Meg clutched her cans. The nice bit of town, where their dad Ezra tried and failed to build a happy home. And Dionne's block. Beautiful, extraordinary Dionne, the only person who had ever looked at them and seen what was there. Back then, overwhelmed and full of fear, they sank beneath the surface into chaos. But they made it out alive. And this time, Rothko is determined that things will be different. A decade since Kae Tempest's last novel, Having Spent Life Seeking is about family and forgiveness; redemption and atonement; desire and abandon; selfhood and community. The things we seek when we are hiding, and what finds us, if we can let ourselves be seen. **'Kae Tempest at his finest' ANTHONY SHAPLAND 'Unboundedly beautiful' MICHAEL PEDERSEN**
