About this ebook
A richly comic novel, SALLY'S ROAD is a Romance in spite of itself. This is the story of a woman dying of cancer, stuck in a bewilderingly soulless estate of modern houses in the stagnant backwaters of Shropshire in England, where the sound of lawnmowers is the only confirmation of human habitation. Or that's how it seems at first, and then Sally starts to get to know her neighbours! Caught in a loveless marriage, Sally spends her days in bizarre adventures with some of the completely eccentric people in the estate, all of whom are trying not to be Tom Sharpe characters or inhabit episodes of The Archers. Between these escapades Sally endures the horrible processes of cancer treatment, and becomes determined to find another way to a cure. Then Sally's life changes completely when she meets Annie - a tousled, tomboyish teenager who is tangled up in her own true? or false? story of kidnap, murder and brothers called Peverill. When Annie tumbles over the fence two lives are in the balance....and the pair become involved in kidnap, murder, rape and theft. All in the best possible taste of course! An absorbing, delightful read which grows slowly on the reader, but yields rich rewards. It will please lovers of Tom Sharpe, Kurt Vonnegut and Monty Python as well as lovers of The Archers!
