By engaging with the thought processes of its characters, Our Last Year examines human nature and selfhood with an unrelenting gaze, asking us to reconsider our own relationship with our consciousness - how it controls us, and how it might become a source of invention, creativity and connection.

Our Last Year is a book about change; through the internal narration of its two characters, the novel follows the disintegration and renewal of a marriage, in synthesis with a much wider natural reality. It tells a story of damage and destruction, both painful and restorative, and necessary. The trajectory of the novel - of becoming part of the evolutionary process, awake to it, enlivened by it, compassionate towards it - is dramatised through two minds, asking readers to reconsider their relationship with themselves, with others, and with the planet itself.

'A lucid and refreshingly uplifting masterpiece about a fraught period in the life of a married couple, Our Last Year surprised and moved and entranced me, calming and healing me with its wisdom and perspectives.' - Tao Lin
