He's got it all-or he thinks he has until one day, his boss suddenly decides he needs some time off and tells him to take a break, with immediate effect, which leads Joe to get in the car and drive somewhere, anywhere. Eventually, he arrives in Ripon, and the cathedral. Imbibing the atmosphere and the history, Joe's road trip leads him onto several more cathedrals. Is it a pilgrimage? Is he looking for something he can't find except in the sanctity of a cathedral? Or is what he is looking for much more simple. A chance encounter with Louise gives himwhat was really missing in his life-love on equal terms, until he learns Louise's love comes with complexities, something Joe does not know if he can cope with.
What happens to someone when they get lost? When their past and present don't add up to their future? Is what Joe has got worth giving up for what he really wants and will he only find it on the road home?
Nigel Stewart's novel takes Joe not only on a physical journey but an emotional one, too, where he is able to discover the complexities of his own personality and why he has become who he is and how he can become who he really wants to be. The book explores the effects of modern day life when you think you have it all and you actually have nothing.
