Discover this powerful novel about a family falling apart, from the Booker Longlisted author of A TOWN CALLED SOLACE
'Tender and surprising... A vivid and evocative tale' New York Times
Twenty-one-year-old Megan Cartwright has never been outside the small town she was born in but one winter's day in 1966 she leaves everything behind and sets out for London. Ahead of her is a glittering new life, just waiting for her to claim it.
But left behind, her family begins to unravel. Disturbing letters from home begin to arrive and torn between her independence and family ties, Megan must make an impossible choice.
'Every bit as good as I expected. A heart-aching and beautifully written story of a family falling apart' Woman and Home
Mary Lawson’s first novel, Crow Lake, was loved by critics and readers all over the world; it was translated into 26 languages and published in 29 countries. It was a New York Times bestseller, won the McKitterick Prize and spent 75 weeks on the bestseller lists in her native Canada. Her second novel, The Other Side of the Bridge, was longlisted for the Booker Prize and selected for the Richard & Judy Book Club. Road Ends, published in 2014, was described by the New York Times as ‘tender and surprising . . . a vivid and evocative tale’. A Town Called Solace, published to critical acclaim in February 2021, was an instant bestseller in her native Canada and was longlisted for the Booker Prize. Mary came to England in the 1960s, and lives in Kingston-upon-Thames.
