The traumatic fallout from the 7/7 terror attacks in London is the starting point of Gavin Stewart’s debut novel. Nobody walks away from the violence emotionally unscathed including Sam, Michelle, Philip, Mary, Ed, and Carol. For Sam, the impact is so profound that he questions not just the meaning of the attacks but the way he has lived his life. Although the story opens in the millennium, the narrative follows the characters from 1968 – the year when Doctor Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated – to 2008, when the world was caught between the hope of Barack Obama’s election as president of the United States, and the disaster of the unfolding global banking crisis. Walk the Line is a studied exploration of relationships, the bonds holding them together, the blurring of memories from the passage of time, and the forces that compel us to question what we believe in.
