EBOOK
About
In an idyllic village in south-west France, a web of lives interconnect, ready to unravel at the first touch. Alex is running from a teenage love-affair that went badly wrong at home in England. Julien, the retired village schoolmaster, is struggling with loneliness and insomnia. Pete has everything – a wife who loves him, an existence of ease and freedom – yet he's frightened of something. Magali wants so much more than the life her parents had. And Damien's angry with all of it.
And then through their world passes a walker, or a pilgrim, on the old Santiago de Compostela pilgrim path. He accidentally moves a rock a couple of metres and continues on his way. And by the time he has travelled a few more slow days towards Santiago, the lives of every inhabitant of this small community will be irrevocably changed.

Times Literary Supplement
"She is neither naïve nor inexperienced, and yet her writing has a bloom on it. There's a fine surprise at the act of writing itself, and what it can accomplish."
Times Literary Supplement
"What a treat: at last someone has solved the problem of how to experiment, con brio, with time and form in the novel and yet keep it readable, accessible and full of heart.
