Graham is clever and quietly fraying; fifty but feels older. Liam is intense, wounded and hard to pin down; a twenty-something who doesn't act it. As they walk through the city, through arguments, memories, bad jokes, and near-misses, there is something neither of them need to say: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLiam loves Patrick, and Patrick, is Graham's husband. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Dalliance is a romance, a quirky reminiscence about London, Love, and its disappointments; about longing, loss, sex, self-deception and the humiliations of trying to connect across a generational divide. At once philosophical and sharply observed, from a single night it traces a lifetime's worth of distraction: past lovers, stray fantasies, a city that no longer feels like home, and the strange comfort of being misunderstood- \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Search for beauty,\" Graham tells Liam. \"Not love.
