A Novel
The Body Language
of Cars
A story of outward triumph and inward turmoil, where disappointment, failure and grief re-shape a man’s understanding of worth.
What is it that we escape from — and to what reality are we drawn? Are we made to dream and aspire to somewhere we are financially secure and free?
Richard Stiles used to be known as “Richie Rich” — a city whizz-kid living the perfect life, with an attractive wife and a son who claims he is the ambassador to an imaginary country. To celebrate, he bought a large pad in the Surrey Hills and crowned his achievement with a Ferrari. But nothing lasts forever… and as Richard Stiles’ life slowly disintegrates, he is forced to confront a compelling truth nothing had prepared him for.
Never mind. Someone has a plan… but it isn’t his!
