Sarah and Maggie are sisters who are very different. Sarah has married and settled contentedly into small-town life. Maggie has spent fifteen years drifting around the world with a backpack. Now Maggie has come home to a dank, dull British winter, supposedly for just a few months. The Penn children are delighted to have their exciting aunt stay with them, but fate has an unexpected adventure in store. It rocks the whole family, bringing up dark shadows from their common past, and confronts Maggie with the hardest decision of her life.

Review:
"Passing Go: 'Libby Purves has excelled herself with this portrait of a dysfunctional clan, which is as full of sharp observations, insight and humour as her readers will have come to expect' Christina Koning, Times; 'A whirlwind of contemporary social issues...an extreme and entertaining picture of modern urban life. How Libby Purves manages to weave all this into a comedy, I don't know. But she does.' Philippa Boston, Daily Mail; 'An author who tackles difficult contemporary issues with insight and compassion. Expect the unexpected in Passing Go, a tale for our times.' West Lancashire Evening Gazette; Regatta: 'Libby Purves has created a complex and appealing character in a novel which develops to an exciting conclusion' Vanessa Berridge, Woman & Home
