Excellent ... a moving, beautifully written tale (The Times)
The novel held me right to the end. I was constantly interested in Rita and her dilemma and held by the evocation of place (Margaret Forster)
Taut with narrative tension and memorable for its superb descriptions of landscape and a multitude of deft touches that always seem just right. Above all, this is a genuinely romantic novel, a double love story of love that is raw and raunchy as well as romantic (The Times)

A brave and necessary novel (Daily Telegraph)

A young couple abandon the urban jungle of London's East End for a remote, mountainous corner of Washington State. Chosen by Mick, who is half-American, the place seems as alien as the moon to Rita. But she soon adjusts to raising their small daughter, Frances, in a broken-down cabin without electricity or water, and revels in the untamed beauty of their surroundings. She's scared, though, of the wild animals howling and screeching outside by night. What she cannot admit is her fear of Mick's violent temper. Worse, perhaps, are her own flashes of anger at Frances, frightening losses of control which leave her feeling shaken and guilty. Then she meets Ryan, a redneck poacher who plants in her mind the seed of rebellion.
In this, her striking debut novel, Jill Dawson creates a subtle and compassionate portrait of a young mother struggling to protect her child and of a father destroyed by his own childhood.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Good. Wild Ways presents new short stories about women on the move by some of the best female writers of Britain, Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. By turns adventurous, disastrous, funny and sad, these are tales of independent travel and subversions of the macho world of the road trip, of women traveling to places real or imagined, alone or with friends, leading, following or just totally lost. Some travel in a paroxysm of anxiety, some in a drunken haze, but all are safe in the knowledge of great travelers that it's not the arriving that counts, it's the journey. 226 pages.
