When Audrey Flowers learns that her father has been hit on the head by a Christmas tree and is in a coma, she knows what she must do: leave Winifred her tortoise behind, fly home, make a moving speech at his bedside and wait for him to wake up. However things don't quite work out that way. Instead, Audrey finds herself embarking on an extraordinary journey: one full of puzzlement and pain- but one that could also light up her life. Jessica Grant's debut novel is a warm-hearted, funny and wise book that unfolds in a world that is not quite our own; a place where you might just live forever if you can avoid the dangers (cliffs when you are lonely, staircases when you are tired), and where the truth can be hidden in the armrest of your airline seat.
