He stretched his arms out and his legs apart  making an X  palms facing the windscreen  the hands with a slight tremor that Jack only remembered later. His face had a questioning look that asked Why are you doing this to me? Jack has been sleepwalking through his middle age. His wife has left him; his grown-up daughters no longer need him; and he rarely leaves his remote house on the east coast of Scotland. But when he is involved in an horrific accident  he is jolted out of his stupor  and embarks upon a new friendship that helps him to re-evaluate everything. Douglas is on the early morning Eurostar to Paris to have lunch with a woman he barely knows. Despite his responsibilities to family  work and friends  he is determined to risk everything for his obsession with a stranger. Angus is fifty-four. He has always prided himself on his happy marriage  his reliable car  his nice house  his stable career: there are no nasty surprises. But when a man thirty years his junior takes him to a stuffy room and tells him he no longer has a job  he finds himself suddenly in freefall. As a man without a profession  how does he now define himself? As the three Henderson brothers head to their big childhood home in East Fortune for their annual summer gathering  they steel themselves against sibling rivalry  parental expectation and the vulnerability that comes with being with those who know you best. Intense  humane  humorous and subtle  East Fortune is a moving story about lives at the crossroads; about life and love  chance and hope - and how families survive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647614672949,"sku":"ByrdShop_1408800861","price":110.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781408800867.jpg?v=1781695855","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/east-fortune-9781408800867","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
