A Practical Arrangement is a life-affirming, bitter-sweet tale of an ordinary family life uncontrollably descending into despair, crime and impossible choices. A sobering narrative for our times of unrealistic and unattainable life expectations. He is approaching forty but sometimes Andy feels closer to fifty. His career, home and family life are rapidly going downhill, and he is approaching a self-induced crisis. A dramatic tipping point in his life. When a nurturing and championing boss leaves the biotech company Andy works for, he is left struggling with his jealous peers and the fear of onrushing redundancy. With finances stretched and a growing family to support, Andy is pushed to breaking point. Sneaking some samples of an untested depression medication into his bag one evening after work, Andy hopes the drug will help him to turn his life around. It does but not in the way he expected. Instead, the drug and his deception, throws Andy into an abusive and life-changing affair with the headstrong paradox that is Janey Robins who trades her body for Andy’s intoxicating drug. A practical arrangement riven with self-interest and mutual deceit. But it is not only Janey who is interested in the drug as the police close in on the source of a life-threatening, and frightening new drug which has suddenly appeared on the streets. Will Andy be able to turn things around, or has the drug and the choices he has made ruin his family life and career beyond redemption?

'Morris, ' asked Wee Jimmy, 'do you remember when we a lot younger and used to play for Charlie Meechan's football team Neilston St. Thomas's and we won the forth division title of the Paisley and District League at the first attempt by beating Reid Gear Spurs on the final day of the season at home when Dougie Rennie crossed for big Tam Lannon to head the winning goal?' 'How could I forget that day Wee Jimmy because I had a stormer of a game and if it wasn't for me making at least four world class saves in that game then we wouldn't have been champions because in case you've forgotten we'd been neck and neck with Reid Gear Spurs the whole season and whoever won that game won the league.' 'I don't remember you making any world class saves at any time never mind on that day, ' joked Wee Jimmy, 'but I'll admit that you did have more great games than bad ones so maybe you did contribute a wee bit to our success that year so remind me again what we're looking for up here in this dusty loft

THE OFFICIAL NORTH AMERICAN EDITION "Beguiling, audacious... rises to its own challenges in engaging intellectually as well as wholeheartedly with its questions about gender, genre and the concept of wilderness. The novel displays wide reading, clever writing and amusing dialogue." —The Guardian This is a new kind of nature writing — one that crosses fiction with science writing and puts gender politics at the center of the landscape. Erin, a 19-year-old girl from middle England, is travelling to Alaska on a journey that takes her through Iceland, Greenland, and across Canada. She is making a documentary about how men are allowed to express this kind of individualism and personal freedom more than women are, based on masculinist ideas of survivalism and the shunning of society: the “Mountain Man.” She plans to culminate her journey with an experiment: living in a cabin in the Alaskan wilderness, a la Thoreau, to explore it from a feminist perspective. The book is a fictional time capsule curated by Erin, comprising of personal narrative, fact, anecdote, images and maps, on subjects as diverse as The Golden Records, Voyager 1, the moon landings, the appropriation of Native land and culture, Rachel Carson, The Order of The Dolphin, The Doomsday Clock, Ted Kaczynski, Valentina Tereshkova, Jack London, Thoreau, Darwin, Nuclear war, The Letters of Last Resort and the pill, amongst many other topics. "Refreshingly outward-looking in a literary culture that turns ever inward to the self, although it still has profound moments of introspection. Uplifting, with a thirsty curiosity, the writing is playful and exuberant. Riffing on feminist ideas but unlimited in scope, Andrews focuses our attention on our beautiful, doomed planet, and the astonishing things we have yet to discover." —Ruth McKee, The Irish Times
