Description

Imogen Green is gone. Her favourite underwear is not in her drawer, her sexy summer dress no longer hangs in the wardrobe and her passport is not in the bureau. She has left her cat, her garden and her boyfriend, Toby Doubt. As Imogen's departure sinks in, Toby sets out to discover what could have driven his lover away. When he happens upon a letter from an old flame he decides he will find the man she has left him for and kill him. But as Toby blunders through his first week without Imogen it becomes clear that he isn't being honest with himself - or anyone else. Imogen's departure just doesn't add up. Imogen is missing. Surely, deep down, Toby knows where she's gone and whether she'll be back. This love story with a heart breaking twist leaves a good man wondering whether there is anyone left to catch him as he falls.

Reviews

There's a huge buzz around this debut novel... this is a great slow burn as Toby descends further into madness and the real reason for Imogen's disappearance unravels. * Eve *
Clever and well plotted, Falling is both a surreal comedy and a poignant study of grief. * Guardian *
A writer who has crafted a world with such luminous perception. Both comic and macabre... [there is] an echo of Muriel Spark in the way Liberty's astringent wit is accompanied by glimpses of an appalling underlying reality. A high order of comparison, but appropriate for an unusually strong debut. * Independent *
