An End to Running: A compelling literary historical novel Kindle Edition

by Lynne Reid Banks (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars 14 ratings
A dark and unpredictable love story. Perfect for fans of Ali Smith, Jeanette Winterson and Deborah Levy.

The past is another country… but can you ever escape from it?


London and Israel, 1960s



Tired of sleepwalking through life, Martha Fletcher applies for a job as secretary to the temperamental writer Aaron Franks.

Life under the thumb of his domineering sister has made a cynical and selfish man of Aaron ... yet there’s something about him that draws Martha irresistibly.

Encouraged by Martha, Aaron finally begins to develop his talent on his own terms.

But when he becomes a victim of his own success, the pair flee to Israel, where a kibbutz offers a longed-for chance for Aaron to connect with his Jewish heritage, and for Martha to find a purpose.

While Martha flourishes, Aaron struggles to adjust to kibbutz life, and soon finds he cannot outrun his demons.

As long-buried resentments start to reach boiling point, can Aaron and Martha hold on to their love?

Or will the shadows of their past return to haunt them…?

Set against the dual backdrops of swinging ’60s London and Israel, AN END TO RUNNING is moving and thought-provoking historical literary novel of personal growth and shattered relationships.

    3.0 out of 5 stars In Depth Writing
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I am really getting to like this author for her depth, psychologically, in her characters.
    I enjoyed the twists and turns of this book and it's two main characters, but felt unsatisfied by the ending (although it was fairly good), but cut off a bit too abruptly. Too much left unsaid and unfinished.
    Would have loved a sequel to it, to find out what happened in the future.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing. Couldn’t put it down
    Reviewed in Spain on April 1, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This is my 1st book review after years of buying on Amazon. This book was that good that I’m here to write about it. I couldn’t put it down. I wish there was a sequel. I’d read One More River by this author and couldn’t wait to read another of her titles. A beautiful, down to earth romantic story. A fantastic insight into the human condition. Wonderfully written. It was hard to go back to other books after reading her enthralling writing
