Stephen Ketley's life goes off the rails on the night of his tenth wedding anniversary. Suddenly, his marriage to Sarah is not quite as secure as it seems. Meanwhile, his stepdaughter Emma relies on him to mediate between her warring parents, his sister refuses to speak to him, and Audrey his mother drinks too much and shouts too loud. As his certainties fragment, Stephen recalls an idyllic summer in Florence with his first love, Giuliana. Forced to choose between career and love, authenticity and conformity, how can he make a decision when nothing is certain, least of all himself?

Funny and wise, intelligent and disturbing, Take the Late Train is a memorable journey into the heart of life, love and memory.

'Canny and observant – a sharp and eloquent meditation on finding one's truth. Simply wonderful.' Ginger Bensman
