THE WOMEN WHO RAN AWAY

Sheila O'Flanagan

The riveting new novel from No. 1 bestselling author Sheila O'Flanagan.
In Sheila O'Flanagan's stunning new novel, two women face up to shocking truths about the men they've loved - and start to make their own decisions about what to do next...

Deira isn't the kind of woman to steal a car. Or drive to France alone with no plan. But then, Deira didn't expect to be single. Or to suddenly realise that that the only way she can get the one thing she wants most is to start breaking every rule she lives by.

Grace has been sent on a journey by her late husband, Ken. She doesn't really want to be on it but she's following his instructions, as always. She can only hope that the trip will help her to forgive him. And then - finally - she'll be able to let him go.

Brought together by unexpected circumstances, Grace and Deira find that it's easier to share secrets with a stranger, especially in the shimmering sunny countryside of Spain and France. But they soon find that there's no escaping the truth, whether you're running away from it or racing towards it . . .

Comments

“O'Flanagan doesn't skirt the pain of heartache but embraces it along with the humour (and imperfect judgment) that give her characters their aching credibility. Like a lot of things women create and consume, this story is easy to trivialise. Despite some dark themes, the book's overall tone is light and hopeful. It's not so much that O'Flanagan slips over the heavy stuff - it's that the book is firmly set in the real world, where household chores, heartbreak and small joys regularly overlap on a daily basis.”

‘O'Flanagan is one of our best-known, best-loved and most prolific women's fiction authors.' — Irish Independent

‘A hugely enjoyable romance, written with pace and heart. It will make you long to jump on a plane'
