When Matt is diagnosed with cancer, he and his long term partner, Jamie, gradually come to terms with the illness. With the help of family and friends, they learn to live with the life-threatening disease and its consequences. Precipice explores a potentially melodramatic theme - bereavement and recovery - deftly, sensitively, and with great conviction, An uplifting story of love lost and love found. The accompanying nine short stories complement Precipice with Mandal's characteristic blend of humour and pathos. Truly another 'must read' book from this talented author. From the best selling author of The Dandelion Clock.
