Tree Surgery for Beginners

Book Description

From the bestselling author Patrick Gale, comes an early novel of love, lies and the secrets we live with

'A very funny, often sad, novel writ with style' Time Out

'Excellent' The Times

Lawrence Frost has neither father nor siblings, and fits awkwardly into life, happier communing with nature than with people. When he wakes up one morning to discover his wife and child have gone missing, there is evidence to suggest he may be the main suspect in a murder investigation.

Confused and threatened with the loss of everything he loves, Lawrence is sent to the Caribbean on a kill-or-cure cruise. On board and ashore, he discovers love, deceit, the truth about his missing family, and the blessings that come with surrendering to destiny.

Tree Surgery for Beginners is a vivid and engaging portrait of a man at odds with himself.
