A novel about cycling, childhood memory, and the stories we tell when life refuses to follow the route map
Written by Nick Owen and illustrated by Paul Warren, Confessions of an Ageing Cyclist is a funny, tender and quietly powerful novel about family, fear, resilience and the strange ways we learn to keep going.
At its heart is a boy’s summer diary: sharp-eyed, awkward, comic, confused, and often much wiser than he realises. Around him are parents, siblings, neighbours, bikes, school holidays, secrets, misunderstandings, and the ordinary rituals of family life. But beneath the surface, something more serious is unfolding.
Confessions of an Ageing Cyclist will be publicly launched on 4 July.
