A philosophical novel by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885 and published between 1883 and 1891. Much of the work deals with ideas such as the “eternal recurrence of the same”, the parable on the “death of God”, and the “prophecy” of the Übermensch, which were first introduced in The Gay Science.

Hope is overworked – and so over relationships – when she embarks on a mystery tour arranged by her sister Faith, who has promised her a mini break guaranteed free of romantic four-posters, red roses or dinners for two. Hope’s trying to travel light – yet as she leaves London Euston, her emotional baggage begins to catch up with her. Will the journey finish her off, or will it be the start of something new?

If you loved ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ then this is well worth reading. The author manages to maintain the voice of Dumas perfectly with no awful modernisms that are so often found in sequels. The author manages to stay true to form and crafts a seamless follow on from ‘The Count’, re-introducing us to some of our favourite characters.
