Without much contemplation, she steps out of the front door and disappears forever. Her journey begins with a car ride, followed by a train journey, and eventually a ferry ride. Along the way, she finds herself in various places, including service stations, shopping centers, hotel bars, and hairdressers, engaging in intimate encounters with strangers. After a span of forty-eight hours, she arrives alone in a cottage in Wales, facing the reality that she has been ignoring within herself, her family, and contemporary society. This novel, penned by one of Ireland's most renowned and celebrated writers, explores a spectrum of emotions, encompassing rage, reckoning, joy, and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 338g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224 x 145 x 22 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474618519\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cathy Sweeney","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45290210001146,"sku":"9781474618519","price":13.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1705663938539_book.jpg?v=1705733519","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/breakdown-9781474618519","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
