Publication Date: 4 April 2019

A brilliantly witty, funny, poignant novel for fans of Maria Semple and Katherine Heiny.

I get up. I go to work. I spend the whole day waiting for the words on my screen to make sense. In the commuter broth of the carriage home, tears run in hot lines to my jaw and for a minute or so, I let them.

Nothing has turned out quite how Rhona Beech thought: her partner of nine years moved to another country, and she keeps applying for a new job every six months or so. And her lukewarm efforts to adjust to the changes in her life are thrown entirely up in the air when she gets some unwanted news.

Rhona's sardonic, funny, poignant attempts to find an answer to the questions she's facing are helped by Hilary (her oldest friend), Tania, Erin and Lizzie. KEEP WALKING, RHONA BEECH is a brilliantly observant satire on relationships, friendship and life.

Previously published as HEAD FOR THE EDGE, KEEP WALKING by Cargo Publishing.
