Time Out Novel of the Year 'Astonishingly moving' Sunday Express On
an autumn day in 2006, on the Isle of Wight, Jack Luxton -- former
Devon farmer, now proprietor of a seaside caravan park -- receives
the news that his brother Tom, not seen for years, has been killed
in Iraq. For Jack and his wife Ellie this will have a potentially
catastrophic impact and compel Jack to make a crucial journey: to
receive his brother's remains, but also to return to the land of
his past and confront his most secret, troubling memories. Building
to a fiercely suspenseful climax, Wish You Were Here is a
hauntingly compassionate story that allows us to feel the stuff of
headlines as heart-wrenching personal truth. 'Profound and powerful
...an unputdownable read' Scotland on Sunday 'A wonderful writer'
