Roundabout
Nothing in Sally's life has worked out as she intended.
When her beloved Felix dies suddenly, she feels he has betrayed her too. But as she goes through his possessions, in the seaside cottage outside Cape Town where they finally found happiness, each discovery unlocks more questions.
And each day brings new answers -- about their love and what pushed them apart, and how she can build a fulfilling life for herself.
“The mystery is wrapped in beautiful prose, and revealed slowly, bit by juicy bit. I wanted to read it over time, but found myself diving in, and devouring it over a weekend, because it is that kind of book.”
LAF - Life After Felix
Sequel to Roundabout
About ten months after losing Felix, Sally Paddington is still missing him acutely. She hears him, converses with him - and argues with him - but that doesn’t satisfy her desperate desire to have him back. And then, it seems, her wish is almost granted. Can the man who turns up on her doorstep fill that need—or will he cause catastrophic new problems? The birth of Felix’s grandson takes Sally out of her hibernation, and back to America, intending to visit his daughter Joanie, and to meet this new family member. But her plans get skewed, stalling her on the East Coast with her beloved best friend Libby, and in bumping-into range of her ex-husband and his mother. Old issues open new possibiities, for love and for publication - of the book Sally and Felix began so many years ago, and also - thanks to the new man in her life, to solve the life-and-death puzzle of what ails Joanie’s baby. Love and vulnerability challenge Sally to step back into life.
