From the author of the Amazon UK Top 5 Bestselling Novel The Dress... Ever wondered what would happen if you were to just step out of your life for a while? What do you do when your life just doesn't feel like the right fit anymore? Elena has a career, a husband and a house in London. Everything that you're supposed to want. So why doesn't it feel like enough? Meanwhile, the ruby slippers are waiting - and they fit her perfectly. Where might they take her? And will she follow her yellow brick road? This haunting urban fairy tale traces one woman's journey through a mysterious London landscape and a cast of strange characters, each with something to show her about herself. Is Elena dreaming or is this really happening? At around 16,000 words, Ruby Slippers can be read in one sitting... or savoured slowly. 'Once I put it down I couldn't stop thinking about it...' 'If you like stories that have a deep, dream-like quality to them then you'll love this one...' Recommended for wearers of red shoes everywhere. Also by Sophie Nicholls - The Dress, the Amazon UK No 4 Bestseller
