6 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
After witnessing a fatal car accident, a homeless man wanders the streets of Brighton, trying to ignore the new, incessant voice inside his head. But he cant forget the crash, can't get the face of the woman cradling her dying husband out of his mind. She stared into his eyes, his soul. He has to find her. Is Dan ill or has he really been possessed by the spirit of Natalie's dead husband, Joe? If he hasn't, why does she let him into her home so easily? Does she have secrets of her own? The Pursuit of Ordinary is a twisting tale of modern life and mental health where nothing is what it seems... Following the success of debut novel Beat the Rain, Roundfire introduces the second book from bestselling author Nigel Jay Cooper.

Pickpick

A thought provoking compelling novel. Natalie is dealing with the loss of her husband Joe after an accident when a homeless man, an eye witness, approaches her saying he possesses Joe‘s spirit. The story plays out before, during, and after the accident with love entwining itself into the fold.
The Pursuit of Ordinary delves deep into the process of becoming an ordinary being again after suffering devastating grief and trauma. An AMAZING book! 4 ☆

Alfoster Yay! So glad you liked it! 7y
tammysue @Alfoster I sure did 👍🏻 But now, of course, I have to read Beat the Rain - didn‘t realize it was a Goodreads Choice Awards nominee. How cool is that!?! 7y
Alfoster Yes, it‘s really good too! That‘s how I discovered him! 7y
