Helena

Character from Work in Progress by Kat Mackenzie

The tour's elegant English rose — a woman whose posh composure conceals a life rebuilt from tragedy, and whose quiet maternal warmth becomes the thing Alice didn't know she was looking for.

Also known as: Helena

What They Know

• How to rebuild a life after it falls apart — not the inspirational poster version, the real one with paperwork and sleepless nights
• The social dynamics of every woman on the bus, catalogued with the precision of a diplomat
• Which questions to ask someone who is pretending to be fine, and when to stop asking and just sit with them
• The best restaurants, cafes, and bookshops in every city the tour visits — she's done this route before
• Her son Tristan's strengths and limitations as a romantic prospect, which she assesses with loving but ruthless accuracy
