The Ride to Work (Paperback)

Paperback. For seven years, public servant Anthony Speed has commuted by bicycle to his inner-city office dreading the monotony and drudgery of his job. On an otherwise routine Monday morning, he sets out to do this one last time. The ride forward to his destination coincides with a journey back through his past, as the people and places he crosses paths with draw him into recollections of the great traumas of his life. Surviving tragedy, abuse and addiction hasn't built a resilience in Anthony, it has eaten through his defences and exposed a vulnerability that sees him at the edge. His survival has been reliant on hope, but when that too is gone, what is left for him? An entire life compressed into a single hour. What drives a person to the edge?Every chain of events has a beginning. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
