Why a Booktrail?
2000s: This is part three in a trilogy and you really need to start from book one
The Girl Who Ran
What you need to know before your trail
Dr Maria Martinez has finally escaped The Project facility that has been controlling her since birth. But in going against The Project’s rigid protocol, the powers at the very top of the organisation will go to any length to re-initiate her. Their aim? To bring her back to the tightly-regimented headquarters where their intense ‘training ‘of Maria can be completed.
Fleeing to Switzerland in an attempt to outwit her enemy, Maria must never lose sight of potential danger, but soon finds there’s nowhere to run. And as she starts to question whether she can trust even those closest to her, returning to the one place she has fought so hard to leave might be her only option.
Travel Guide
Switzerland
This is a chase, a run and one epic train journey through the Swiss Alps and down through many villages and remote train stations. You wouldn’t want to do the journey in exactly the same way as in the book of course but it does seem like a marvellous journey through some amazing places!
“Aching blue lagoons of sky sifting in a mist of citrus and orange peel. Carpets of green grass shoots sprinkled with sugar flakes of snow all scattered among petals of spring painted with brush stokes of yellows and lilacs and multi-coloured confetti. Majestic mountains rise up, backs straight, muscles taunt, mountains that, each time I gaze at them , each second I take in their strong, solid presence as they whisk past the window, a lump forms in my thought.”
“.. no matter what wars are raged, what lives are slain, what untruths are spewed and sewn, the mountains that soar high above us are always there. Solid, present and true”
The Project facility meanwhile is, of course, fictional but is said to be somewhere in Hamburg, Germany
