Journeys without a map, by Marion Molteno


After my novel Uncertain Light came out I did a fair bit of journeying with it, talking to groups across the UK, in India & Pakistan.  I’ve brought together stories & reflections from those journeys, and beyond that to the long unexpected personal journey my novel-writing life has taken me on.

It’s available from all major e-book suppliers just  CLICK HERE

I’ll be delighted if you read it, and look forward to hearing if you do.

 

Extract from the blurb in the book - Here’s what early readers have said:

An amazing story, compelling and written with great pace. I was swept along by the details of the actual journeys – the hazards, adventures, happy or unhappy coincidences- and the writer’s journey as well. A moving and humbling experience. – Carol A. Caffrey

A wonderful book – extraordinarily diverse and fascinating – different countries, cultures, languages, people, poetry. Gives a real insight into what goes into creating an important novel, and because she’s a great story teller, whether it’s Shropshire or India it holds the same fascination. – Nicky Road

Engaging all the way through. Her vivid way with detail makes for equally fascinating reading whether she is getting lost coming out of the metro station in Delhi, describing inspirational women who have influenced her, narrating moving refugee stories, or reflecting on the writer-reader relationship. – Linda Wright

What a brave book this is – laying bare levels of feelings, thought and creativity, that though beautifully written still feel quite raw. We learn a lot about her but also about writing and being an author. A wonderful achievement. – Greg Lanning
