Description

The new music-infused novel by the author of Homeward Bound and I’m Still Standing and 77-year-old TikTok and Instagram sensation (with posts reaching up to ¾ million views!) 

When veteran actor Syd Price is dumped from a long-running TV soap, he needs to find a new way forward in a media landscape that he no longer recognises. But when a rising star, model and Instagram sensation, Chloe Anderson, suggests filming a riverside ramble together, what starts as a mutually beneficial partnership turns into a vicious battle of the generations. 

In turn hilarious and moving, Made for Walking is a  heartfelt cross-generational story of ageing, modern life, friendship and retribution.
