Two Steps Forward: from the author of The Rosie Project is a delightful novel brought to you by the talented husband-and-wife team, Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist. This captivating story takes you on a humorous yet poignant journey of love, self-acceptance, and the quest for renewal.

Join Zoe, a struggling artist from California, and Martin, a Yorkshire engineer, as they embark on a transformative 2,000km pilgrimage along the Camino. Both seeking solace in picturesque Cluny, France, they navigate their painful pasts—Zoe faces the heart-wrenching loss of her husband, while Martin grapples with the aftermath of a messy divorce. Their quest for a fresh start leads them along the historic path to Santiago de Compostela, where they hope to rediscover their identities.

This engaging narrative is enriched by:

  • Engaging storytelling: Alternating chapters provide dual perspectives from both Zoe and Martin.
  • Rich themes: Explore the concepts of renewal, rediscovery, and the pivotal decisions that shape our journeys.
  • Film adaptation: Optioned for film by Ellen DeGeneres, this enchanting story is set to reach an even wider audience.

With endorsements describing the book as "Charming and absorbing" by the Daily Mail and "Sleepless in Seattle meets Wild" by the Sunday Express, Two Steps Forward not only captures the physical challenges of the Camino but also delves into the profound psychological and spiritual transformations that accompany it. Join Zoe and Martin on this heartfelt journey and discover the remarkable power of second chances.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
