Meet Kim – a middle-aged hack, ripe for a mid-life crisis. Meet Kate – his feisty colleague, half his age. And meet the Marathon des Sables – not just the world’s toughest footrace, but also the burning furnace where two journalists fall in love. Kim is married and in a dead-end job on a Red Top newspaper. He’s always dreamed of running the Marathon des Sables. Kate hurls down the gauntlet and Kim can’t help but pick it up. Based on the events of the 2012 Marathon des Sables, this is a story about finding love in the searing crucible of the Sahara.

Set against the backdrop of the Falklands War, this is the story of a torrid love affair that develops between schoolboy Kim and his 23-year-old female piano teacher, the beguiling but pained India, at the most traditional of institutions, Eton College. 25 years later, Kim looks back on the life-changing experience and sees how enemies, strict constraints, and ultimately his own jealousy destroyed the haven that had been created. On finally uncovering the reason for India’s secret hurt, the novel reaches a destructive finale that still haunts Kim all these years later.

<p>“What a read! Every schoolboy’s dream comes true in this deftly-written treatment of illicit romance. A triumph.”—Alexander McCall Smith <br><br>“My own piano teacher was called Mr Bagston and frankly I don’t think any power on earth could have persuaded us to create a scene of the kind Coles so movingly describes.”—Boris Johnson, mayor of London and author of <i>Have I Got Views for You</i> <br><br>“An outstanding debut novel. A wonderful story of first love. Few male authors can write about romance in a way which appeals to women—but Coles has managed it quite brilliantly.”—<i>Sunday Express</i> (United Kingdom) <br><br>Seventeen-year-old Kim is a student at one of Britain's most extraordinary institutions, Eton College—crammed with over a thousand boys and not a girl in sight. His head is full of the Falklands War and a possible army career, until the day he hears his new piano teacher, India, a beautiful but pained young woman, playing a prelude from Bach's <i>Well-Tempered Clavier</i>. Kim's life will never be the same again. An intensely passionate affair develops between him and his twenty-three-year-old teacher, and he wallows in the wild and unaccustomed thrill of first love. Twenty-five years on, Kim recalls that heady summer and how their fledgling relationship was so brutally snuffed out—finished off by his enemies, by the constraints of Eton, and by his own withering jealousy. <i>Prelude</i> is the bittersweet story of a life-changing love. <br><br><b>William Coles</b> has been a journalist for eighteen years. He lives in the United Kingdom.</p>
