Fiction

Rosa Lane is a fashionable journalist in her thirties, already the picture of London achievement. Her handsome boyfriend is something in politics and her other friends are confident, prosperous and ambitious. But one afternoon, staring at her computer screen at work, she fails to see the point, walks out of her job - and begins her long fall from modern grace. Shortlisted for John Llewelyn Rhys Memorial Prize 2007 and Orange Award for New Writers 2008.
