Elisabeth Easther reviews Take Nothing With You by Patrick Gale, which is published by Hachette.

"Growing up in the 1970s seaside Somerset town of Weston-super-Mare, Eustace’s upbringing is, in many ways, unconventional. As he reflects on his adolescence while receiving cancer treatment in present-day London, Eustace listens to the cello music he loved as a devoted young music student. Not at all mawkish, Take Nothing With You is a warm-hearted novel about love, music and the complex business of finding out who you are."
