As your paths cross and intertwine, you’ll soon realise that no story is ever new. The choices you make about which pages to turn to may mean you’ll become a tourist or an undocumented migrant, a mother or a murderer, and you will meet many travellers with their own stories to tell. To Berlin or Amsterdam? Lima or Tijuana? Or onto a train that will never stop? You’re forever wandering, everywhere and nowhere, but where is your home? A pair of red shoes to take you wherever you want to go. So you make a Faustian pact with a devil, who gives you a gift, and a warning. You’re desperate to escape your boring life teaching English in Jakarta, to go out and see the world. You’ve grown roots, you’re gathering moss. Publisher: Harvill Secker/ Penguin Random House
