WE COULD BE HEROES
P. J. ELLIS

'One of those everything books: you laugh, you cry' NEW YORK TIMES BIRMINGHAM, Present Day. When American actor Patrick arrives in England, finding love is the last thing on his mind. Starring in a blockbuster superhero movie, he's on a strict filming schedule, which does not include coming out as gay. But when Patrick meets Will - a local bookseller and drag performer, whose charm is impossible to resist - the temptation for a secret romance has never felt stronger. NEW YORK, 1949. Comic-book artists Charles and Iris aren't like other married couples. They too are harbouring secrets of a dangerous nature. But together, they are creating a new kind of hero - one who is destined to bring Patrick and Will together... and might just change the world. *** Super fans of We Could Be Heroes say: 'I ADORED it.
