*The most unusual novel you will read all year, where you create your own story*
'An ingenious choose-your-own-adventure challenge... Questions such as: "Where am I going?"... "Which choice will make my life worthwhile?" feel existential and urgent... Who can travel, and on what conditions, is one of the primary human rights questions of our era, and The Wandering skilfully takes it on.' Guardian
You've grown roots, you're gathering moss. You're desperate to escape your boring life teaching English in Jakarta, to go out and see the world. So you make a Faustian pact with a devil, who gives you a gift, and a warning. A pair of red shoes to take you wherever you want to go.
You're forever wandering, everywhere and nowhere, but where is your home?
And where will you choose to go?

To Berlin or Amsterdam? Lima or Tijuana? Or onto a train that will never stop?
The choices you make...
