2000s: When a loved one falls ill, your life changes forever
The Light in the Hallway
What you need to know before your trail
When Nick’s wife Kerry falls ill and dies, he realises for the first time how fragile his happiness has always been, and how much he’s been taking his good life and wonderful family for granted. Now, he suddenly finds himself navigating parenthood alone, unsure how to deal with his own grief, let alone that of his teenage son, Olly.
In the depths of his heartbreak, Nick must find a way to navigate life that pleases his son, his in-laws, his family and his friends—while honouring what Kerry meant to them all. But when it comes to his own emotions, Nick doesn’t know where to begin. Kerry was his childhood sweetheart—but was she really the only one who could ever make him happy?
And in the aftermath of tragedy, can Nick and his son find themselves again?
Travel Guide
Travel with Amanda Prowse to Yorkshire
Set in the fictional town of Burstonbridge in Yorkshire, location is not so important to the story as the landscape here is one, primarily, of grief. It does sound nice though!
“The small market town of Burstonbridge on the North York Moors was a bump of a settlement with one main road that ran right through it.”
The scenic route through the town:
“Travellers taking the scene route between Helmsley and Guisborough stumbled across the place, pausing to photograph the pretty war memorial , the sloping, higgledly-piggledy cobbled streets an fuel and plastic-wrapped sandwiches or to potter around the gift shops in Market Square, which sold overpriced rubbish to tourists alone.”
