When To Walk
Rebecca Gowers
Available as eBook
It looks like just another week ahead. Then out of the blue Ramble’s husband ends their marriage over lunch and disappears. With no rent money and her world in shreds, she is forced to reconsider everything she’s ever been taught by her screwy relatives, unreliable friends and wayward criminal connections. Should she hide in life’s slipstream, or has the moment come to break free?
When to Walk is an astonishing debut, lit up with hope and unexpected laughter.
“Brilliantly original and convincing … Tristram Shandy meets Bridget Jones.”

new Statesman
“Clever, comical and unpredictable.”
tim Pears
“A beautifully written and brilliantly original comedy, blacker than coal and crafted with the delicate precision of a lace-maker.”
