Peter Bowman is a successful solicitor. However, a series of utterly bewildering events including the metaphorical death of his marriage and the very real death of a close personal friend and turning up late, again, for one of his own dinner parties led to an extraordinary set of consequences that totally disrupted his life.
He decides to quit working as a solicitor (at least for a while) and to follow his ambition of writing fiction.
Which takes him on a series of bewildering journeys during which he faces some new challenges and meets new loves and some new tragedies, too.
He leaves the familiar surroundings of his life in the North East of England for France, where he lives with a freelance journalist called Sally.
Sally is a bit of a mystery herself, with something of a troubled past.
He begins on his first baby steps of writing a novel. But can he, a survivor of a previous generation, really escape the restrictions that his own background have placed upon him?
Can he really embrace the new "With it" movement that burst upon the unsuspecting public in the late 1960s?
Does Peter succeed in his ambition?
Or does something even more wonderful happen to him?
It's an incredibly moving novel and although it is not a romance it is filled with love.
It's published by Matador at £9.99.
