Ben Hunter Booktopia Book of the Month [The Girl On The Page]( [Order your signed copy!*]( [by John Purcell]( [The Girl On The Page]( Two women, two great betrayals, one path to redemption. A punchy, powerful and page-turning novel about the redemptive power of great literature, from industry insider, John Purcell. Amy Winston is a hard-drinking, bed-hopping, hot-shot young book editor on a downward spiral. Having made her name and fortune by turning an average thriller writer into a Lee Child, Amy is given the unenviable task of steering literary great Helen Owen back to publication. From ultimate book industry insider, John Purcell, comes a literary page-turner, a razor-sharp, fast-paced novel that cuts to the core of what it means to balance ambition and integrity. The Girl on the Page is a juicy and provocative novel that is all about what really matters in life, and the redemptive power of great literature.
