ABOUT
THE BOOK

Julia is thirty-six years old. At first sight she has it all, but actually she feels miserable. Trapped in the monotony of daily family life and fed up with her passionless marriage, Julia wants out. Escape. For once not to be a good mother, a good wife, a good daughter. So for the first time in her life she does something completely irresponsible: she leaves her family behind and heads off into the sun.

When Julia finally meets someone who makes her realize what she’s been missing all her life, she is forced to reconcile with her past and confront the crucial question: does she dare to go home?
