This is a phenomenal debut novel. Rich in imagery and almost cinematic in quality, Going Places captures the mood of a world once again ravaged by war and technological threats. It is a fast-paced read, a futuristic adventure that takes us from the UK to the US/Mexican border to Latin America to Asia. It tells the compelling story of a woman and her twin daughters struggling to survive in a world riven by conflict and division. Like many great “journey” books, the renderings and maps are exquisitely drawn. Highly recommended.
