There's an art to choosing men, but Thea's just discovering it. A wonderfully romantic novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Recipe for Love, A French Affair and The Perfect Match.
Leaving behind a house full of students she looks after, Thea throws caution to the wind and takes off to Ireland with Rory, a charming artist.
But Thea's old life isn't so easily cut off. The arrival of Molly, her bossy friend, demanding to see Rory's stunning paintings (and to find out what Thea is up to) is bad enough, but why did she have to bring Petal, Thea's most annoying lodger, along for the ride?
And worst of all, Petal is accompanied by her uncle, the enigmatic Ben, a man Thea has sworn never to like.
The timing is terrible and even more alarming is that the more Rory pursues Thea, the more maddeningly attractive she finds Ben...

Can be scoffed at one sitting … Tasty
—— CosmopolitanJoanna Trollope crossed with Tom Sharpe
—— Mail on SundayThe romance fizzes along with good humour and is a good, fat, summery read
—— Sunday MirrorHits a right and ringing note and keeps hitting it
—— IndependentSharp observation of domestic detail
—— Val Hennessy, Victoria Moore and Amber Pearson , Daily MailThere are delightful moments aplenty ... Any author who has come up with the beautifully silly plan of melding a kung-fu epic with an Iraq-war satire and a Mad Max adventure has to be worth keeping an eye on
—— GuardianA debut novel of the kind that comes along only once every couple of years, overflowing with imagination yet powered by the kind of cleverly twisting plot that marks him out as a master storyteller ... A quirkily original writer
—— The ScotsmanHas the pace and action of an episode of 24 ... The agility of the narrative is one of the great strengths of this book ... Harkaway is robustly confident ... Particularly effective are his Matrix-like fight scenes, brought to life in meticulous yet flowing prose
—— The TimesA stunning debut ... By turns thrilling, silly, gripping, crazy, daring and outrageous. I loved every minute ... The Gone-Away World is brakes-off fiction
—— Scotland on SundayI loved it...exuberant, mind-bending science-fiction/fantasy adventure about truckers, weapons that wreck the very fabric of existence, foul-mouthed drill instructors, ninjas and stuff like that. But by golly it's well written, funny and enjoyable
—— Sam Leith , Daily MailWith his debut The Gone-Away World, Nick Harkaway has created a fictional universe that is out of this world
—— TatlerA big new book by a big new writer. Well done! Harkaway describes The Gone-Away World in words that whiz and ping like bullets ricocheting off the walls of the reader's mind. He's the real thing
—— Russell HobanA genuine panoramic, 3D, surround-sound, total-immersion, thrill-factor ten miracle - it is the kind of book that you just don't want to end! ... Engrossing, action-packed ... Very highly recommended
