My Days Away

By Andrew D. MIles

My Days Away: From teacher in Oxford to fugitive in Patagonia

How does an Oxford teacher end up as an outlaw crossing the vast landscapes of Argentina? For Axel, it all began with a letter that that pulls him far from England and straight into the heart of danger. He only wanted to follow a girl, but instead, found himself lost in a world he never knew existed.

The summer of 1979 marks the turning point in Axel's life. Just back from a holiday, ready to settle into Oxford's tranquil routine, Axel receives a letter-an invitation to Argentina. What awaits him is far from what he imagined. Thrust into a world of intrigue, he meets a woman and his life changes forever.

From Buenos Aires' bustling streets to the remote, windswept corners of Patagonia, Axel's journey plunges him deep into unfamiliar worlds-a cattle ranch, hidden tunnels, a coal mine. Along the way, he faces danger at every turn, narrowly escaping death, and unravelling mysteries that make him question everything he thought he knew.

But by 1982, Axel's life takes an even darker turn. With the Falklands War brewing, Axel suddenly finds himself a marked man. Branded a criminal for reasons he barely understands, he must flee for his life. The army encircles him. Who can he trust? Can his girl save him? Or his old friends from Oxford? As soldiers close in, Axel realizes that the answers he seeks may lie in a hidden world-one he never wanted to return to but cannot escape.

Caught between love, betrayal, and a country on the brink of war, Axel must navigate a dangerous path to survive. He needs a plan, and he needs it fast, but with enemies all around, the choices he makes will decide not only his fate but the fate of those he cares about.

For readers who crave a dive into the unexpected, this novel offers an extraordinary journey. Set against the backdrop of Argentina's stunning yet perilous landscapes, and filled with twists that will keep you guessing until the very end, My Days Away is perfect for readers who look for a story that blends imagination, adventure, mystery, and the vibrant world of Latin America. Join Axel on his unforgettable journey-where every choice could be his last.
