"You shouldn't keep secrets. Secrets keep you up at night. They stop you sleeping."
Adam's coming home to Manchester. But when his mother commits suicide before his return, and he finds a 17-year-old girl in her place, he realises that there's a lot he doesn't know about his father. As his world starts to unravel before him, will he find answers in the shadows of the past?
Following the success of Streetlights and Shadows, Becky Prestwich's Letting in Air is a lyrical family drama about the secrets we keep.
