Synopsis "Two Steps Forward "

*THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER* 'Charming and absorbing' Daily Mail 'Sleepless in Seattle meets Wild . . . A beautifully crafted tale of love, self-acceptance, and blisters' Sunday Express A smart, funny novel of second chances and reinvention from the author of The Rosie Result - two misfits walk 2,000 km along the Camino to find themselves and, perhaps, each other. Zoe, a sometime artist, is from California. Martin, an engineer, is from Yorkshire. Both have ended up in picturesque Cluny, in central France. Both are struggling to come to terms with their recent past - for Zoe, the death of her husband; for Martin, a messy divorce. Looking to make a new start, each sets 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? In this smart, funny and romantic journey, Martin's and Zoe's stories are told in alternating chapters by husband-and-wife team Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist. Two Steps Forward is a novel about renewal - physical, psychological and spiritual. It's about the challenge of walking a long distance and of working out where you are going. And it's about what you decide to keep, what you choose to leave behind and what you rediscover along the way. Optioned by Fox Searchlight for Ellen DeGeneres to produce through A Very Good Production.

Graeme Simsion nació en Nueva Zelanda y en la actualidad reside en Melbourne. Después de una exitosa carrera en el campo de la informática, en 1999 vendió su empresa y decidió dedicarse a escribir a tiempo completo. Desde entonces ha publicado narraciones breves y obras de teatro, y ha producido algunos cortos a partir de guiones propios.

Concebida originalmente como guión cinematográfico -con el que obtuvo el AWG/ Inception Award al Mejor Guión de Comedia Romántica-, El Proyecto Esposa, primera novela de Simsion, se convirtió en todo un fenómeno de ventas en Australia, e incluso antes de ser publicada ya le habían otorgado el Victorian Premier's Unpublished Manuscript Award (premio al manuscrito no publicado). Más tarde, el fenómeno adquirió dimensión global: la novela se tradujo a treinta idiomas y superó el millón de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo.
