The only problem is that I have absolutely no sense of direction and get lost incredibly easy, so it couldn’t be anything that complicated. I’d just read Laurie Lee’s memoir As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning and was struck by the glorious simplicity of leaving home on foot, as Lee did, and walking through the English countryside. I decided a few years ago that I wanted to go on some sort of solo adventure. Tell us about the Thames Path and why it’s a focal point of this novel. Their journey along the 184-mile track opens up a space for the two of them to discuss the past and the present, helping them heal a rift that developed between them when they were 16 while confronting some hard truths about their adult lives. In Richard Roper’s tender and funny novel two former school friends reunite after many years to fulfil a childhood promise to walk the Thames Path together.
