Synopsis

Annoyed at yet again being taken for granted, fifty-year-old Linda refuses to accompany her successful, executive husband on a Rotary trip. The more Jim tries to manipulate the situation, using friends and their adult children to persuade her to go, the more she digs in her heels. Instead, she sets off on her own to walk from East to West coast. The ups and downs and climatic changes of the walk, across wild open moors, fertile dales and the mountainous Lake District, provide time and space in which to reflect on her life and consider her future. Her outlook is totally changed when she meets Nick, another lone walker. But the walk, like life, is not a clearly defined path. Full of challenges and decisions, it is sometimes an easy stroll, at others a hard climb for little reward; sometimes it offers dangerous diversions, or is shrouded in the mist of past experience. As the walk progresses Linda discovers that life offers more than one route to happiness.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Janet Minshull grew up in a Kentish seaside town with her six sisters and brother playing 'imagine' games and writing prize winning compositions in school. After the failure of her early marriage, she married her graphic designer boss and has lived happily ever after, working together in the advertising business in Canterbury, walking wherever and whenever they could. Janet manages an idyllically located hotel on the shores of Ullswater - a perfect job for a writer, providing interesting characters and four winter months of writing time.
