Richie Billingham, a married father of two in his late thirties, is
attending a party held in his honour and organised by his wife, Jemma.
Through the eyes of several characters, we are taken back through the lives of Richie and Jemma.
Richie,
an Evertonian, is from a large middle class family. His father is a
gambler, his younger brother Jim, a constant irritant and his older
sister Caroline provides an unusual insight into her romantic world.
Jemma
is from a working class, one parent family. As her mother, who she
refers to as “Vomit Breath”, is far more interested in partying than
parenthood, Jemma establishes a strong bond with her sister, Kelly,
until one day their
worlds are torn apart.
Kelly was Richie’s
first love. “The Sunny Road” was a name given to the idyllic,
countryside setting where Richie and Kelly used to escape. When Kelly
disappears, Richie is forced to move on, but several years later, not
knowing that Richie is now married to her sister, Kelly writes a letter
to Richie. stating her intention to return and suggests they rekindle
their romance.
The novel was initially inspired by the song “Sunny Road” by Emiliana Torrini.
