Merging the personal and the political, observation and contemplation, the author examines what her life is and wonders what it should be; what is expected of a thirty year old woman by society, by family and friends and by herself. She walks the streets of her London, creating it and herself -- gaining agency by being in control of her own direction, speed and momentum. Walking is both an internal and external experience. It's a time for self-reflection, for observing others and for imagining how we appear to them. What is expected of a person of our age, sex, and race, and how should that influence what we do and how we feel about ourselves?
A poignant and contemporary meditation on gender politics, social commentary, and eighties movies, all interlaced with shards of autobiography and illustrated with a beautiful series of sequential and non-sequential watercolour images.

"Lizzy's work is beautifully executed with an eye for composition, colour and fine detail." --Rebecca Fulleylove, It's Nice That
Herald Scotland Best of 2019: “A well-judged piece of work that captures fear and anxiety yet also moves with beauty. It may be the best-looking graphic novel of the year and that's saying something in a year when both Chris Ware and Seth have had books out.”
"A complex, challenging, reflexive, and occasionally deeply wonderful meditation on life within the city.” -Did You Ever Stop To Think
