Description

Leaving comes naturally to Eva Elliott: she spent her childhood abandoning schools and cities.

Now she enjoys the thrill of saying goodbye much more than the butterflies of a first smile or kiss.

There’s so much more potential in walking away, and Eva has a dangerously vivid imagination.

During a rainy summer in London, where Eva lives in a rackety Soho flat with her boyfriend, she dreams of exit strategies.

She becomes fascinated by a golden eagle who has escaped the Zoo to roam the city, and thinks up stories about the ghostly figure of a girl who lurks in the window of a strip club opposite her office.

When a beguiling stranger called Grace turns up in Eva’s life armed with a conspiratorial smile and an unsettling secret, Eva is left unsure what is in her head and what is reality.

In this haunting story about exits and departures, Anna Stothard reveals that love has its fault lines and freedom comes at a price.
