Discover the tragically beautiful world of So Long, See You Tomorrow, a quietly devastating masterpiece of human frailty and resilience

In the quiet farmlands of Illinois, two lonely teenagers – bound by the burden of their rural lives – forge a delicate friendship. But when jealousy ignites between their farming families, it leads to unthinkable tragedy, and severs their bond forever.

Fifty years later, haunted by the past, the narrator seeks to piece together those harrowing events and find redemption for a lifetime of regret. So Long, See You Tomorrow is a haunting exploration of memory, loss, and the enduring quest for forgiveness.

‘One of the great books of our age. It is the subtlest of miniatures that contains our deepest sorrows and truths and love’ Michael Ondaatje
