About the book
Eight point Eight is an exhilarating story based in Harrow, UK and Uttarkashi, India and tells the tale of four parts of the same family over a period of nineteen days, starting twenty days before Christmas. A grand family reunion is planned for the festivities.
Quite suddenly, an unprecedented incident takes Tina Rhodes, mum of four grown up children, to India unprepared for what devastation she might find. The journey was like none she could have imagined, nor was ever likely to experience again. She had no idea what to expect when she eventually reached the devastation, but she felt compelled to go there, to find her missing son Matt who was in India experiencing the terrors of being trapped in a disaster of catastrophic magnitude. His days buried in the rubble are woven into the story.
With another family tragedy to contend with Tina’s younger son Andy, travels to Athens to find his sister Sam, who yet again seems to have found herself in a dire situation that she had not thought through properly.
Meanwhile, Penny, the eldest daughter, stays at home to hold the fort with her gran, Tina’s mum, Mary. But is soon dealing with an ex-husband returning from prison. If this is not enough, Gran becomes seriously ill and is rushed to hospital.
As close as the family are, situations have led to them being separated unexpectedly, each encased in life changing situations. Will they all be able to free themselves of their restrictions and make the Christmas party that Tina had planned for so long?
