Who is Laura Clark?
To her colleagues, she's an invisible forty-something HR manager, emailing about lift repairs and quietly stocking the meeting-room snacks.
To her golf-obsessed husband and selfie-obsessed teenage daughter, she's the reliable constant - dinner on the table, mess cleaned away, needs met without thanks.
To her elderly mother, she's a patient ear for endless complaints.
Laura Clark is the woman everyone relies on. And barely anyone sees.
But one day Laura puts on her 'out of office' message - and doesn't come back. And soon, everyone's formerly ordered lives quickly begin to descend into all-out chaos.
Where has Laura gone?
Has something terrible happened to her?
Or has she - unthinkably - decided to finally give her own life the finger?
To find out, the people in her life must realise that, maybe, they never really knew Laura Clark at all . . .
SO witty, so entertaining, yet so moving. Countless women will identify with Laura Clark. I loved it so much! * MARIAN KEYES *
A brilliantly entertaining novel, which made me properly laugh while also being surprisingly moving. If you've ever wondered what might happen when women down tools, Laura Clark is Away from her Desk is a hopeful answer. * JENNIE GODFREY *
