Come back to me

by
March 2010, no. 319

Suspenseful, heartrending, and transcontinental, Come Back to Me’s dynamic scenes extend from debauchery at an office part to a shocking outback crime. A complex psychological tale, Sara Foster’s début novel – forged from her years as an editor and a life lived in Britain and Australia – throws us head first into marital distress.

Set in a middle-class world of city lawyers and designers, Come Back to Me is essentially a story of consequences. Chloe is a rising star at her law firm. When she finds herself pregnant, her husband faces an untimely quandary that has her questioning their relationship. When Chloe’s colleague Mark confronts his own demons, she is further burdened with difficult choices. Come Back to Me elucidates vulnerability as a dominant human trait and makes fate a demanding bedfellow.
