There is something visceral and exciting when your second book is fully published, and copies are sent out into the world to live a life of their own. I love it when they find their way back to me in feedback and reviews.
This second book of mine continues the themes of human rights and climate change which are so close to my heart. I researched the real journeys children and young people have made over the high Himalayas to escape persecution, and some of their stories are in this book, which I have dedicated to the monks and nuns of Tibet.
Alongside this journey are the climactic events foreseen by climate scientists as London floods irretrievably. The story moves from 1968 to 2030. It is fast and exciting as a lively young woman peels herself away from a thankless job in advertising and enters a world she never knew existed. In many ways this is the beginning of her story of self-discovery and awakening.
This is part 1 of a Trilogy - The Symmetries. Part 2 is on it's way, and Part 3 is in the birth canal ( so to speak).
