The latest from the Number One Sunday Times Bestselling author Louise Doughty
Bird is a woman on the run. One minute, she's in a meeting in her office in Birmingham - the next, she's walking out on her job, her home, her life. It's a day she thought might come, and one she's prepared for - but nothing could prepare her for what will happen next. As she flees north using multiple disguises, Bird has to work out who exactly is on her trail, and who - if anyone - she can trust. Like many people, she has fantasised about escape for a long time, but now it's actually happening. Is her greatest fear that she will be hunted down, or that she will never be found?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What I liked about this book: the suspense and cleverness of the main character to survive, especially as she is in her late fourties. I liked how smart she was and I could personally relate to her military experience. I believe this character was only a little older than I. What I didn't like: I am not sure what lessons the character really learned from all her running, hiding and avoiding relationships. I can relate to this a bit too but not entirely. The book has no real ending and I found this a bit unsettling, I couldn't really imagine where the character could go from where the book ends. It's sort of a sad story overall but I always enjoy Louise Doughty's writing. The story held my interest and the narration was very good.
