'A stunning novel.' GRAHAM NORTON
'My god this is gorgeous. Wild, wise, wonderful.' RUSSELL T. DAVIES
'Unforgettable.' CÓLM TOIBÍN

WINNER OF THE CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD PRIZE
SHORTLISTED FOR THE PORTICO PRIZE

Now featuring Andrew O'Hagan's moving essay on the real-life friendship that inspired his beloved, award-winning novel.

Everyone has a Tully Dawson: the friend who defines your life.

In the summer of 1986, James and Tully ignite a friendship based on music, films and the rebel spirit. With school over, they rush towards a magical weekend of youthful excess in Manchester, played out against the greatest soundtrack ever recorded. And there a vow is made: to go at life differently.

Thirty years on, the phone rings. Tully has news.

Readers love Mayflies:

'Intelligent, moving, and quick-moving. Leaves you smiling and crying at once.'
'Exquisitely written and made me exhale with a big sigh and just sit still, thinking deeply, when I closed the book at the end.'
'An uplifting and life-affirming read.'

'This book will change your life and challenge your values. You'll laugh, then weep til you're weak like a baby.'
'An exquisite exploration of how life should be lived, right until the very last breath.'
