Suspenseful, heartrending, and transcontinental, Come Back to Me’s dynamic scenes extend from debauchery at an office part to a shocking outback crime. A complex psychological tale, Sara Foster’s début novel – forged from her years as an editor and a life lived in Britain and Australia – throws us head first into marital distress.

Set in a middle-class world of city lawyers and designers, Come Back to Me is essentially a story of consequences. Chloe is a rising star at her law firm.

When Chloe’s colleague Mark confronts his own demons, she is further burdened with difficult choices. Come Back to Me elucidates vulnerability as a dominant human trait and makes fate a demanding bedfellow.
