When Ramble's husband calls her an autistic vampire and abruptly ends their marriage over lunch, she isn't quite sure what to do. She has no rent money, a looming deadline for work, and new neighbors who seem to have involved her in petty crime. Faced with the dissolution of a life she hadn't really wanted, Ramble takes stock of what she has left. In Rebecca Gowers's sharp debut, Ramble begins to reconsider everything her screwy family and unreliable but loyal friends have taught her so far. She spends a week taking apart her life and deciding which parts she wants to keep. When to Walk is a disarmingly honest portrayal of a young woman coming into her own--lit with hope, rich in magnificent characters, and hilariously wise.

Review:
"By far the best novel I've read this year. Rebecca is a genius."
"Brilliant . . . It is by turns hilarious and poignant, and shot through with a love of words. . . . There is an emotional wallop lurking in all the witty disquisitions. . . . Unforgettable."
"Gowers's debut novel is a mercurial delight, a humorous romp spiked with the unpredictable and the darkly comic. . . . Ramble's mind fascinates and charms. . . . It feels as if she is stretching out a hand of friendship to the reader. . . . Gowers's heartfelt novel is the perfect read for those bored with the current surfeit of cliche-ridden chick lit."

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One part Melissa Bank and another part George Saunders, When to Walk is a laceratingly funny and deeply compassionate take on how one woman reinvents herself and learns that, no matter how late, there can always be a new beginning in life. When Ramble's husband calls her an "autistic vampire" and abruptly ends their marriage over lunch, she isn't quite sure what to do. She has no rent money, a looming deadline for work, and new neighbors who seem to have involved her in petty crime. Faced with the dissolution of a life she hadn't really wanted, Ramble takes stock of what she has left. In Rebecca Gowers's sharp debut, Ramble begins to reconsider everything her screwy family and unreliable but loyal friends have taught her so far. She spends a week taking apart her life and deciding which parts she wants to keep. Called "a mercurial delight" by the New Statesman and "brilliant . . . unforgettable" by Scotland on Sunday, When to Walk is a disarmingly honest portrayal of a young woman coming into her own--lit with hope, rich in magnificent characters, and hilariously wise.
