Sottopassagio — Nick Alexander

Following the loss of his partner, Mark, the obstinately optimistic hero of 50 Reasons to Say "Goodbye", tries to pick up the pieces and build a new life for himself in the seaside town of Brighton. Haunted by the death of his lover and a fading sense of self Mark struggles to put the past behind him, exploring Brighton's high and low-life, falling in love with charming, but unavailable Tom, and hooking up with Jenny. But Jenny has her own problems, and as all around are inexorably sucked into the violence of her life, destiny intervenes, weaving the past to the present, and the present to the future in ways no one could have imagined.
