PAPERBACK
From debut novelist Philip Bowne, winner of the Spotlight First Novel prize, comes this explosive coming-of-age odyssey that catapults 18-year-old Billy Reed across Europe. Billy has just left school and is desperate to escape middle England. It's 2016, and as a grave-digger, he's working the ultimate dead-end job. To make matters worse, he's a virgin, and there's no hope of him meeting a girl any time soon. The only women at work are in coffins. Meeting the older, mysterious Eva changes everything. A scramble across Europe follows, involving hitch-hiking with truckers, walking with refugees, and an encounter with suicidal cows. But the further Billy goes, the harder it is to be sure what he's chasing - and what he's running from. Part coming-of-age narrative, part European travel adventure, this is a hilarious and moving book for everyone who wants to break away and follow their dreams.
