Gilda, a vivacious and headstrong young German. Kate wants to find out more about this woman who is threatening her happiness and asks to meet Gilda. Gilda is intrigued and agrees, only to find she ends up having admiration and respect for Kate’s open-heartedness. Ewan realises his love for Kate is still as strong as ever and ends the affair. An improbable friendship develops and Ewan and Kate invite Gilda to go on some holidays with them…but a husband, wife and ex-lover on a bicycle made for three in Spain; then a remote trek in the Himalayas - these are powder kegs of suppressed feelings that cause all of them to reflect on who they are and what sort of person they want to be. Poignant at times, but peppered with wry humour, perceptive insights and evocative descriptions,Counting Wild Strawberries was shortlisted at the 2013 UK Festival of Writing.
