Your Life Without Me
What you need to know before your trail
Mr Burman is unmoored. Still reckoning with the death of his wife Ada, and struggling to understand his grown-up daughter Leila, he finds himself on a train to London, at the invitation of the police.
He is to meet Raf, a young man suspected of trying to blow up St Paul’s cathedral – and a man once intimately connected with the Burman family. Have the police laid a trap?

From Lancashire via London to Bulgaria
The novel is light on locations but St Paul’s Cathedral in London is of course at the centre. In Lancashire and Bulgaria, the locations are vague or unamed but that does not detract from the story as it is not just place that is key here but movement and history in flux.
