'Brilliant... a biting critique of the orientalist, gender and class attitudes that shape Britain today.I loved it.' Preti Taneja It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime: the open road, London to Kathmandu, just three young people looking for adventure.No one could have predicted the way it ended, and for fifty years the truth has been buried.But now, Joyce is ready to tell her story. London, 1970. Fresh out of a dead-end job, Joyce answers an ad in the local paper: Kathmandu by van, leave August.Share petrol and costs. Joyce is desperate to escape life in suburbia, and aristocrat Freddie looks like he can show her a wild time.Together with Anton, Freddie’s best friend from boarding school, they embark on the overland trail from London to Kathmandu in a beaten-up old Land Rover.But as they cross the borders into Asia, Freddie can’t outrun his family’s history, leading to devastating consequences for everyone. Overland is a novel about youth, privilege, class and the sharp echoes of British imperialism from one of the most exciting new voices in literary fiction.
