Win copies of Graeme Simsion's new novel for your reading group

Two Steps Forward is a smart and funny story from the author of The Rosie Project.

Two misfits walk 2,000 km along the Camino to find themselves and, perhaps, each other. A novel of second chances and reinvention told in alternating chapters by husband and wife duo Graeme Simsion, and Anne Buist. Optioned for film.

Looking to make a new start, Zoe and Martin each set out alone to walk two thousand kilometres from Cluny to Santiago de Compostela, in northwestern Spain, in the footsteps of pilgrims who have walked the Camino (the Way) for centuries. The Camino changes you, it’s said. It’s a chance to find a new version of yourself, and a new beginning. But can these two very different people find themselves? Will they find each other?

We are giving away sets of ten hardback copies of The Wild Other to ten reading groups. For the chance to read this captivating story and win a set for your group, simply tell us by the 5th of April about your reading group, why you would love to get your hands on a copy, and if you would be happy to review this title for us.
