IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO TAKE WING AND FLY...
When her husband, Jack, unexpectedly leaves her, Judith suddenly realises she is all alone in the world: her two sons are in Australia, and both her mother and her best friend Naomi have recently died.
Deciding to embark on a journey to Exmoor to meet the famous artist Robert Haussman, with an oddly assorted group of fellow-enthusiasts, she finds herself prey to all sorts of irrational fears. Chief amongst them is the increasing conviction that Jack is dead. Why did he leave her? Where has he gone? And why does Robert Haussman exert such a strange influence on her?
Will she find the answers she craves and the strength she needs to move forward?
