When first encountered Bobby Ancroft is 41 years old. Though highly successful in his professional life he is extremely unsettled and, perhaps, just a little too preoccupied with the extent of his unsettled state. At much the same time much the same thing might have been said about Liz Clayton.
Meeting either one of them at that time may not have prompted a rush of positive perceptions: he, seemingly, impatient and edgy; she,perhaps a little cool and distant. It is undeniable that they need a change of direction but, as any Satnav user will verify, to select a new destination you must first know exactly where you are and then have a clear idea of where you would like to go. Frankly neither of them did.
A Certain Road is their love story. It is a story with a happy ending rescued from a difficult start and a painful and traumatic middle.
Defining moments in their story happen in St Petersburg, Nottingham, Northumberland, Galveston Texas, Venice, down a large hole on a building site in Abu Dhabi, the Little Chef Newbury and a long-abandoned Kent airfield now used for car boot sales. The precise location which symbolises their happiness is a walled vegetable garden in rural Nottinghamshire nurtured by two immigrants from opposite ends of the planet. Both gardeners are adored by the pair of them - which certainly helped - and the owner of the garden is Bobby's cosest friend and a sort of spare parent to his beloved daughters - which may have helped even more.
A Certain Road is about the redeeming power of love, the healing power of friendship, the transformative power of a good example, the difficulty of finding your way with any degree of confidence in our complex physical and emotional landscape - and a little bit about civil engineering. (Civil Engineering is one of the things which made Britain Great - we really should make the effort to be a bit more enthusiastic about it.)
Incidentally it's a bit about cleaning as well and who can deny that cleaning is one of the defining features of civilization - so no apology there.
