Midnight cactus

On the run from her claustrophobic marriage in London, Alice Coleman moves her two small children to a ghost town in the Arizona desert - and there finds an escape she hadn't thought possible. But the mythic Southwest has room for more than one fugitive. In the dusty, alien atmosphere, it seems that everyone - from Benjamfn, the town's loyal caretaker, to the laconic and mysterious Duval - has something to hide. Vivid and compelling, Midnight Cactus explores the tensions between unrealised dreams and the pull of family, until finally, in a blistering climax Alice is forced to decide just what she is willing to sacrifice to hold on to her freedom.
