Charlotte has planned to leave her husband before but has never quite managed it but on the day she decides to finally leave a twist of fate means that the choice is taken out of her hands...she becomes a hostage in a bank robbery.
While travelling south, Charlotte's relationships with her parents, especially her mother, husband, brother-in-laws etc are all reflected upon & you learn more about how Charlotte has become this person who feels the need to cast off possessions & break free.
It's an easy but compelling read, Tyler can write about normal everyday activities, ordinary mundane things & yet make them interesting to read about.
