But his determination not to be a 'whingeing pom' is soon tested by a series of farcical run-ins with police, politicians, petty-criminals and even the local fauna, while his attempts to find romance down under are repeatedly frustrated. In his struggle to balance his personal and professional life, Miles makes powerful enemies, and is eventually forced to go on the run again. His attempts to adapt to his new life - and his roller-coaster descent from the sophistication of the modern international art word into the primitive wilderness of the Australian bush - proves to be a gripping and often hilarious voyage of self-discovery.'

'Grace counts. The letters in her name, Grace Lisa Vandenberg (19). The steps she takes every morning to the local cafe (920); the number of poppy seeds on her slice of orange cake, which dictates the number of bites she'll take to finish it. Grace counts everything, because numbers hold the world together, and Grace needs to keep an eye on how they're doing. Seamus Joseph O'Reilly (also a 19, with the sexiest hands Grace has ever seen) thinks Grace might be better off without the counting. If she could hold down a job, say. Or leave her flat without enumerating the contents of her cupboards or make a sandwich containing an unknown number of sprouts.

Grace's problem is that Seamus doesn't count. Her other problem is ... he does.' (Publisher's blurb)
