Book description
If you could slip away unnoticed from your day-to-day life, would you?
If you could cover your tracks, if you could fly away, if you could
start a new life: would you do it? Tom is a burnt-out counsellor who
readers first encountered in WINTER CLOSE. Myra is his client. Ruth, a
busy GP and mother of three, is his neighbour. Rich, her husband, has
left to make a new life with his lover. Len dreams of retirement but
might be persuaded to take on one last job. In WAYS OF ESCAPE they are
all forced to confront questions of identity, desire, ambition and
truth. Hugh Mackay, social researcher and novelist, is the author of
twelve books, including five bestsellers. He was a newspaper columnist
for almost thirty years and broadcasts frequently on ABC radio. WAYS OF
ESCAPE is his fifth novel.
