ABOUT THE BOOK

When Tom’s wife had an affair, he resolved to leave her once their children had grown up. Twelve years later, after driving his daughter to university, he remembers his pact and keeps driving West to visit friends, family and an old girlfriend.

But he also has secrets of his own – trouble at work and health issues – and sometimes running away is the hardest thing to do.

‘Feels less like reading a novel and more like sitting in a car beside a dear friend. . . a profoundly moving experience.’ Ann Patchett

‘Deeply human. . . a beautifully quiet and devastating book.’ Sarah Jessica Parker

‘Funny, wise and knowing.’ Clare Chambers
