A SIMPLE LIFE: Snatch in Time - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Meet 35-year-old Paul Williams. Divorced. Unassertive. Trying his best to live a simple and stress-free life. If only it were that easy. He lives on his scruffy plywood yacht moored in Davison’s Dyke on the Norfolk Broads - the cheapest and most isolated moorings in the village with zero facilities – and teaches at the local college.

Paying the mortgage for his ex-matrimonial home and maintenance for his much-loved 4-year-old son, Ben, means Paul’s simple life (or hand to mouth existence, as we would call it) is a challenge.

But this is the least of his worries. Because Paul’s simple life has started to fall apart. His job is under threat and so is access to his high IQ son, the centre of his world. To add further fuel to the fire, two local criminals are tempting him (the most unlikely criminal ever) to become embroiled in running his boat from the Netherlands to Norfolk.

As his turmoil escalates, he’s left with two options.

Stay and fight. Or snatch his son and run.

Find out how Paul’s simple life turns so complicated. The lengths he’ll go to just to keep his son close, and the married mature student who has her sights set on him.

Funny, entertaining, frustrating and touching in equal measure A Simple Life will have you compelled from the start.

‘A novel that evokes the sublime loneliness of the single-handed yachtsman - and the wonderful magic of the waters of East Anglia and the Netherlands. This is a book that captures both person and place - and is a treasure trove of the art and feelings of sailing a small vulnerable boat.'Edward Wilson, author of A River in May and six novels in the Catesby series (a seventh due in June 2020) published by Arcadia Books.
