<p>When Ed meets Charlotte one golden afternoon, the fourteen sleeping pills he's painstakingly collected don't matter anymore: this will be the moment he pulls things right, even though he can see Charlotte comes with a story of her own. <br>They try to make a life in Muizenberg, but old habits die hard, and they become embroiled in a scheme that soon slips out of their control. <br>In Like It Matters, each line of text, each mark on the page, is meticulously crafted as the novel charts, with striking flair, the life of a man cast adrift.</p>
