Two people. One desk. A million Zoom calls. What could go wrong? When Ada and Fraser find themselves freelancing from the same café together every day they strike up a mutually beneficial friendship. Fraser saves their favourite table when Ada is running late, Ada watches over his laptop when he nips out and they both answer the calls the other wants to avoid, posing as assistants. As they work side-by-side Ada can't help but notice how attractive Fraser is, and how well they get along. But when Ada's friend - and part-time matchmaker - puts her in touch with a mystery man, Fraser is back to faux-assistant. As Ada's messages with the mystery man become deeper and more honest, she thinks she's falling for him. When they finally meet, he is dashing and fun and they get on brilliantly. But why doesn't the conversation flow like it did in their late-night messages, and why can't Ada stop thinking about Fraser?A modern You've Got Mail meets When Harry Met Sally.
Natasha Burge was born and grew up in Saudi Arabia, where her family has lived for more than half a century. As a child she realises that she is not from SaudiArabia and, like all ex-pats, she would one day have to leave. Through various departures and returns - a year at boarding school in New England, university in London, a small town in Texas where there are more cows than people, back to work in Bahrain - the years of difficulty, isolation and severe anxiety take their toll. Finally, at thirty-seven years old she receives the life-changing news that she is autistic. In Drifts, Burge probes her unfurling awareness by exploring the two ruptured strands of her being: what it means to grow up at the interstices of different cultures, and what it is to experience an undiagnosed condition and late diagnosis of autism. From the cosmopolitan heritage of Muharraq's Pearling Trail to the jebels of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, she charts a new path through the stories of the Arabian Gulf as well as those of autism. The result is a work of dazzling insight, sensitivity and awareness that explodes our idea of memoir and place.
