*SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BOOK AWARDS 2021*
*WINNER OF THE EAST ANGLIAN BOOK AWARDS FOR FICTION*
'Captivating and unique' STYLIST
'A terrific debut' SUNDAY TIMES
'A novel that has stayed with me for weeks afterwards . . . Perceptive and unflinching' JESSIE BURTON
EVERY ENDING IS A NEW BEGINNING...
Ruth is ignoring the news. Like most people, she has relationship problems, job stress, friends and family who need her. Ruth has a life.
But the news is about to catch up with Ruth, and her problems are going to be swept away...along with the rest of the world.
Only when the comforts and complications of her old existence are gone, does Ruth finally realise how she might be able to live to the fullest.
Kate Sawyer worked as an actor and producer, and wrote several short films before turning her hand to fiction. Her debut novel, The Stranding, was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award, won the East Anglian fiction prize, was adapted for BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime and is being developed for TV by Fremantle and Afua Hirsch's production company Born In Me.
Kate is the host of Novel Experience, a weekly podcast where she talks to authors about their writing practices and the experiences that brought them to, through and beyond publication.
After twenty years living in London, she recently returned to her native East Anglia, where, as a solo mother by choice, she lives with her young daughter.
