Since November 2009Book Review: The Life You Want by Emily Barr
Posted on Wednesday, July 29th, 2009 by Leah
Tansy Harris is a terrible mother. The kind who forgets to pick her children up from school, the kind who drinks half a bottle of wine at lunch-time, the kind who comtemplates an affair with her son’s teacher. The very worst kind.
But then, Tansy’s life is not one she ever wanted. When she married Max, and agreed to have his children, it was on the proviso that it wouldn’t change them: they’d still do whatever they want, see the world, be free. But they have changed, and Tansy can’t cope. With a full-scale meltdown looming, something must be done, and Tansy decides the answer is India. It’s somewhere she and Max always planned to visit together, but this is a trip Tansy will take alone: to take stock, sort her head out, come back a better person.
India turns out to be nothing like Tansy imagined, and yet everything she hoped for. But when she visits an old backpacker friend who’s joined a cult in the south, Tansy lifts the lid on something terrifying and much, much bigger that her. And the moment she realises she’s in the wrong place at the wrong time…. is the moment it’s too late.
