Find Me Falling cover

'Rare, rich and challenging' —Emma Timpany, author of Travelling in the Dark

She is a traumatised concert pianist, who has found refuge miles from home, in a cliff-top house haunted by memories and broken dreams.

The town is desolate, down-its-luck and she wanders its street like the ghost of a life forgotten.

He is a road sweeper, visited by neurological hauntings of his own. But when he finds a ring inside a fish and gives it to the passing Bonnie, elemental forces are unleashed that neither is able to control.

A magical, literary masterpiece of loss and desperation.

'The evocation of the eerie alternate realities that are just a few misfiring neurones away for us all stays with the reader long after the last page is turned' -Dr Sallie Baxendale, Consultant Neuropsychologist, Department of Clinical & Experimental Epilepsy Institute of Neurology, UCL
