Synopsis

Throw away your ideas of a heroine, and meet Claire Newbold. Her son has died. Her husband's been playing around. And Claire has had enough. Checking out of work and home to confront love and loss on the road, she develops a scam for staying in hotel rooms for free. She ignores all calls and messages. She plays the seductress after seventeen years as a faithful wife. Her behaviour ranges from the illicit to - she fears - the deranged as she looks for a way to get through grief and mend her marriage and her life. As taut as a thriller, provocative, poignant and beautifully written, Layover is the unforgettable story of a woman on the edge, and her search for a very personal redemption.
