The Woman Who Ran Away from Everything: The hilarious and heart-warming read for 2024

Kate is sick of being taken for granted by her husband Vince. It's bad enough that she allowed herself to be dragged away from the London life she loved, but now she's constantly compelled to keep up with the (very smug) Joneses in this small home counties town. She hates it here. What happened to the fun-loving woman she used to be? At almost 50 Kate feels lost, overlooked and like nothing is ever going to change. That is, until she comes home to an unexpected party - one that she has to cater. And that's it. The final straw. Breaking point. Scrambling out the bathroom window, Kate leaves. She has no plan, but a chance encounter at Euston station sees her following her own heart for once - to beautiful Scotland where a crumbling mansion and a handsome bookseller could be just what she's needs . . . As Kate discovers, sometimes you have to feel utterly lost to find out who you truly are.
