Baggage - Hardcover
At eighteen, your closest friend commits suicide.
At twenty-nine, you're backpacking in the Australian outback when you see her. She has a husband. She has a ten-year-old son. She has a baby on the way. She claims to be someone else. But you'd recognise her anywhere.
Back in England you tell your journalist boyfriend. While he never knew her, he always knew of her - her name is Daisy Fraser and she was awaiting trial over the deaths of four people when she jumped off the Severn Bridge. He thinks: This could be the scoop of the century. He says: Happy Christmas - I'm taking you to Australia to find Daisy.

Review:
'Her light touch allows her to make some obviously heartfelt points, and she manages to keep the momentum going with some very funny twists and turns of the plot' The Oxford Times (The Oxford Times)
'It's impossible to dislike Barr's chatty, infectious prose style. The plot is compelling and the book is invested with a strong sense of place' The List -Glasgow (The List -Glasgow)
'Superb characterisation and edgy style' Glasgow Daily Record (Glasgow Daily Record)
The strength - it is a great read from start to finish - is not in the plotting. but in its easy entertaining style and believable characters that are variously biting, insightful and sympathetic. (The Times)
'A highly evocative read. It has all the ingredients of pure escapism...and a pace that never slackens' Eastern Daily Press (Eastern Daily Press)
'A great read from start to finish...believable characters that are variously biting, insightful and sympathetic' Play (The Times) (Play (The Times))
