Asylum Road

A couple drive from London to coastal Provence. Anya is preoccupied with what she feels is a relationship on the verge; unequal, precarious. Luke, reserved, stoic, gives away nothing. As the sun sets one evening, he proposes, and they return to London engaged. But planning a wedding does little to settle Anya's unease. The knife-sharp, compulsive second novel by the critically-acclaimed author Olivia Sudjic. Lean, sly and unsettling, "Asylum Road" is about the many borders governing our lives.
