The extraordinary and the mundane collide as eleven strangers make fateful choices that alter each other’s lives in this thought-provoking novel.
This enigmatic novel follows eleven seemingly unconnected individuals as they move through their day-to-day existences, each finding themselves at moments of uncertainty, nostalgia, insecurity, and, above all, longing for a different life. From a chocolate factory worker with a secret past to a businessman who experiences a strange commute on the London Underground, the choices they make will set off an increasingly surprising sequence of events.
As these characters' lives begin to intersect, often without their knowledge, far-reaching consequences prevail, leading some to the extreme act of committing murder. Yet—even after this potent search for better, more fulfilling lives—has each person ended up where they really want to be?
A passion for books and writing led Rebecca to study French and Spanish at University College London and then become an active committee member of the Society of Young Publishers (SYP). It was at the SYP that she met Legend Press MD Tom Chalmers and together they set the challenge of Rebecca writing a novel within a year. The result is Here or There.
