Synopsis

'I almost regret this is not a true story, because I believed every word.' Amazon reviewer
'Highly captivating, highly unusual... one of the best novels to come out of Britain this year.' Garry Craig Powell, author, Stoning The Devil
'Compelling... impeccable... and thoroughly entertaining' Peter Selgin, Wisdom Faulkner award winner, Flannery O’Connor award winner, William Saroyan International Prize finalist, Associated Writing Programs award finalist, Housatonic Book award winner, author The Inventors, Duplicity

Twenty years ago, Hugo and Ash were on top of the world. As the acclaimed rock band Ashbirds they were poised for superstardom. Then Ash went missing, lost in a mountaineering accident, and the lives of Hugo and everyone around him were changed forever. Irrepressible, infuriating, mesmerizing Ash left a hole they could never hope to fill.

Two decades on, Ash’s fiancée Elza is still struggling to move on, her private grief outshone by the glare of publicity. The loss of such a rock icon is a worldwide tragedy. Hugo is now a recluse in Nepal, shunning his old life. Robert, an ambitious session player, feels himself both blessed and cursed by his brief time with Ashbirds, unable to achieve recognition in his own right.While the Ashbirds legend burns brighter than ever, Elza, Hugo and Robert are as stranded as if they were the ones lost in the ice. How far must they go to come back to life?

A lyrical, page-turning novel in the tradition of Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano, Ever Rest asks how we carry on after catastrophic loss. It will also strike a chord with fans of Meg Wolitzer’s The Interestings and Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Daisy Jones for its people bonded by an unforgettable time; fans of Ann Patchett’s Bel Canto, for music as a primal and romantic force; and Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air for the deadly and irresistible wildernesses that surround our comfortable world.

'A novel of music, mourning and mountains... the writing is beautiful... I can't stop thinking about the characters.' Squeak, Goodreads
'So real and heart-wrenching, I expected to read about the characters on the news.' Amie McCracken, author, Leaning Into The Abyss
‘A wonderful tension akin to Daphne du Maurier. Sink in and emerge in a state of wonder.’ Martha Engber, author, Winter Light
