Jane’s Away by Clare Hawken
Roger
Kurmudge is rather smug about his affluent life and happy marriage.
It’s just as well his wife, Jane, is totally in the dark about what
he got up to in the past. But on his retirement day, Jane disappears.
Roger’s about to panic. Will he have to sell some shares or –
heaven forbid! – the house in Bordeaux to pay a ransom demand?
Worse – has Jane discovered his guilty secret? Then Jane’s emails
start arriving. Take the dog to the
vet. Look after grandson Alfie for the day. Do the washing, shopping
and cooking. Host Christmas for the family.
Roger doesn’t know why Jane’s gone but he’s sure he can manage
her ‘women’s work’ without any trouble. Although it’s harder
than it looks.
As
the weeks go by and Jane stays away, Roger is forced to re-examine
everything he thought he knew about his family, his life and himself.
But even if Roger can change for the better, will Jane ever come
back? Or has she, too, been keeping secrets of her own?

Jane’s Away is my debut novel, although I have a couple of
other manuscripts in a drawer. I live in Wiltshire with my family,
three guinea pigs and a very stubborn springer spaniel, and when I’m
not writing, I’m avoiding housework by hiding in a room, reading
one of the many books on my TBR pile.
