Highway Blue

From Shelf: Holiday Reading

As the novel opens, Anne Marie is drifting in seedy San Padua, 'where you can never get the ocean out of your brain', living a precarious life of shift-work and shared apartments.

'Holds you captive like a blues song' Olivia SudjicIn San Padua you can never get the ocean out of your brain. Anne Marie's husband Cal left her on their first anniversary. Two years later and she is still adrift, living a precarious life of shift work and shared apartments. When he shows up on the doorstep, clearly in trouble, she reluctantly agrees to a drink. But later that night a gun goes off in an alley near the shore and the young couple flee together, crammed into a beat-up car with their broken past, desperate to fill their lives on this long stretch of road under hot skies. ______________________PRAISE FOR HIGHWAY BLUE'Poignant, moving and cinematic' An Yu'Beautiful' Observer'Unforgettable' Elaine Feeney'Gripping' Stylist
