Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Heartbroken after a long, painful love affair, a man takes a job driving a haulage lorry through France. Travelling with him is a secret passenger - his daughter. Twenty-something, unkempt, off the rails.
With a week on the road together, man and girl must attempt to restore themselves and each other, and to repair a relationship that is at once fiercely loving and deeply scarred.
As the pair journey down the motorways and through the service stations of France, a devastating picture reveals itself: a story of grief, of shame and of love in all its complex, dark and glorious manifestations.
Critic reviews
"Haunting, mesmerising, and so deeply intelligent about the interwoven strengths and frailties of the human heart." (Kamila Shamsie)
"A whirlpool of memories, regrets and hopes." (Tim Pears)
"Unusual, utterly original and mysterious...definitely a 2020 must read." (Elaine Feeney)
