About The Gospel According to Cane:
Beverley Cottrell had a dream life: a prestigious job, a beautiful husband and new baby boy. But then, one winter afternoon, when her son was barely a few weeks old, he was kidnapped from a parked car and was never found. Two decades later, Beverley starts to believe that she has finally pieced her life together - until a young man starts to appear wherever she goes.

"Newland writes...with sensitivity and complexity. The Gospel According to Cane, his seventh book, is a coming-of-middle-age novel, but one seasoned with style and sophistication." -Bernadine Evaristo, The Guardian
