El Largo Camino a Casa

American Alec Hudson has carried the ashes--and the memory--of his late ex-wife, Gwynne, all the way from London's Heathrow Airport to the remote mountains of North Wales, honoring Gwynne's request that he scatter them atop a mountain they had climbed together years before. But the weather doesn't cooperate, so Alec seeks shelter at Fiona Edwards' bed-and-breakfast at the base of the jagged peaks. As Fiona and Alec wait for the weather to clear, they are drawn together by mutual loss, longing, and the miracle of love at midlife. Will North's debut novel is a story about grief and hope, love and loss, and about two people struggling with the agonizing complexities of fidelity--to a spouse, to a moral code, to each other, and to a passion neither thought would ever appear again. By turns lyrical and gripping, set amid a landscape of breathtaking beauty and unpredictable danger, this is a story you will not soon forget.

And so, began Alec Hudson?s long walk home, from Heathrow Airport just outside of London to an obscure mountain village in Wales.
