Opis

The most important days of our lives are often the ones which come without warning. Although it was just another regular day that began with another annoying buzz of the early morning alarm clock for Jenny, a nurse working at the hospital her rise had already set in motion a chain of events that would change her life forever. And although her mother had always told her that every single action of a person contributed to "life's rich tapestry," Jenny could never foresee how the day's events would result in her now uncertain future. Witnessing the mugging of an old couple during her lunch break, the thief steals her bike to make a quick getaway. Shaken but taking control of the situation, the level-headed nurse consoles the couple and takes them to the police station to file a report. However a few streets down the wallet thief rides Jenny's bike straight into oncoming traffic. Hit by a car and lying in the middle of the road, in the ensuing chaos the wallet is stolen by yet another opportunistic thief as bystanders run to the mugger's aid, setting into motion a series of events that will change the lives of everyone involved forever. Shrugging the day off as a spot of bad luck, Jenny attempts to put the events behind her. However, as fate would have it her story is far from over, and it'll be sooner than she thinks before she sees the people involved in this hectic day again. In her excellent new novel, Gillian Clark weaves an intricate and interconnecting tale of destiny and fate as the lives of these strangers slowly become entwined in the pages.
