Publisher's Synopsis
One quiet evening in Salisbury, the peace is shattered by a serious car crash. At that moment, five lives collide - those of a flower seller, a schoolboy, an army wife, a security guard and a widower - all facing their own personal disasters. As one of those lives hangs in the balance, the stories of all five unwind, drawn together by connection and coincidence into a web of love, grief, disenchantment and hope that perfectly represents the joys and tragedies of small town life.
