One morning, while still in his pyjamas, Christopher Gale hears an old familiar song on the radio. The smoky, heartbreaking voice of Helen Leonard, and the urgent sound of her guitar. There was once a time when Chris used to adore her completely, but somewhere along the line he lost it. Traded peace, love and dope for work, marriage and suburbia. 

Can you really not go back? What if Chris were to get in the car, now, and drive as far as he can? Will she really not be there waiting for him, barefoot on the shore, the wind in her hair and a smile behind those mysterious eyes?

Potent, affecting and beautifully written, Finding Helen is a haunting and sometimes sinister tale of betrayal and forgiveness and the first mainstream novel by one of our most celebrated writers of fantastic fiction.
