Longlisted for the 2007 Women's Prize for Fiction

It looks like just another week ahead. Then out of the blue Ramble’s husband ends their marriage over lunch and disappears. With no rent money and her world in shreds, she is forced to reconsider everything she’s ever been taught by her screwy relatives, unreliable friends and wayward criminal connections.

Should she hide in life’s slipstream, or has the moment come to break free?When to Walk is an astonishing debut, lit up with hope and unexpected laughter.
