Sasha is a captive in a life which no longer satisfies her. Her children are critical, her husband unsupportive. So, with two good women friends, she escapes to darkest Peru, to take on the challenge of a lifetime - to walk the Inca Trail.
Amongst the grandeur of the mountains, she discovers that she can grab hold of her life and wrench it back before it's too late. She embarks upon a love affair, which takes her completely by surprise; she also finds disaster and the sound of her own laughter.
This novel is for every woman whose teenage daughters say they look sad in hipster jeans. Whose husbands have long since ceased apologising to them for anything. And who feel like hamsters caught in the never-ending wheel of life.
