Book Description

2007

The new bestseller from the country’s number one storyteller is a deeply moving and powerful tale of love and courage and a sacrifice no man should be asked to make.

Three strangers are thrown together by chance. It’s an encounter which is destined to change all of their lives for ever.

When Ben Morris comes to the aid of Lucy Baker and her daughter Mary, he is intrigued by the story behind their frequent visits to the local graveyard. Later, invited into their home, an old Edwardian place suffused with secrets of the past, Ben hears Lucy’s remarkable tale – one she must tell before it’s too late.

The story of Barney Davidson, his family and the part Lucy played in his extraordinary life, is one of a deep, abiding love and an incredible sacrifice, spellbinding in its tragedy and passion. And it still exerts a powerful influence in the present day …

The Journey is Josephine Cox at her mesmerising best. Spanning decades, generations and continents, it will stay with you for ever.

From the Back Cover

Some journeys are the loneliest to make...

Three strangers are thrown together by chance. It’s an encounter which is destined to change all of their lives forever.

Ben Morris experiences an unsettling sensation when he comes to the aid of Lucy Baker and her daughter Mary, intrigued by the story that lies behind their frequent visits to the local graveyard.

Later, at their home, an old Edwardian house to which he is sent, Ben is invited into a place suffused with secrets of the past. His instinct that Lucy harbours something momentous proves true as she begins to relate a tale of passionate love and an extraordinary sacrifice.

Lucy’s story of Barney Davidson, his family, and her girlhood, with its tragic events, is a spellbinding one and one which, even in the present day exerts a powerful influence...

5.0 out of 5 stars Spellbinding read 4 Jan 2006
Format:Paperback
Having read an excerpt from this novel as a short story in Woman’s Weekly last year and been looking forward to the paperback coming out ever since. I was not disappointed as spell binding read from start to finish. The way the book spans the decades to bring this realistic story alive is brilliant. I didn’t want to put this book down, really looking forward to the Sequel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Believable?? 12 July 2006
By R McG
Format:Paperback
This was the first Josephine Cox book I have read.

I read through it VERY quicky. I liked her style of writing, the characters were lovable, I found the book very intriguing from the very first page, but I do have to admit I found the plot somewhat far fetched.

Why would Barney not go to America, set his family up for a better future, and die happy knowing their lives had improved and they would survive when he left them.

I thought there would be some deeper, dark secret.

Having said all that, I will be now moving straight onto the follow-up 'Journeys End' to find out what happened to the other characters :-)

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
joseohine cox has outdone herself again with this wonderful book. A tale of a mans love for his family and how he sacrifices everything to protect his family. A truly inspiring story of love between family and friends and how the actions of one man can destroy his family and save themall at the same time. this book is definately one for reading as soon as possible and i promise you will not be able to put this book down once you start reading it.

This is a lightweight story and not one of Josephine Coxs' best. However it would make a good Holiday read or maybe for a Hospital patient.
