ISBN: 9781612196268.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShortlisted for the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction\n\nCatastrophically ill-suited for each other, and forever straddling a line between relative calm and explosive confrontation, Neve and her husband, Edwyn, live together in London. For the moment they have reached a place of peace in their relationship, but past battles have left scars. As Neve recalls the decisions that brought her to Edwyn, she describes other loves and other debts—from her bullying father and her self-involved mother, to a musician she struggled to forget.\n\nDrawing us into the battleground of this marriage, Gwendoline Riley tells a transfixing story of mistakes and misalliances, of helplessness and hostility, in which both husband and wife have played a part. Could this possibly be, nonetheless, a story of love?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melville House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116211855413,"sku":"ByrdShop_1612196268","price":225.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781612196268_42e23d40-0c92-4a8b-8841-f38bdb927500.jpg?v=1778766390","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/first-love-9781612196268","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
