‘If you cried at Jojo Moyes’ “Me Before You”, get your hankies ready.’ Booklist
A Sunday TImes bestseller and word-of-mouth sensation, this beautifully written novel is moving, life-affirming and one you will never forget.
Two single parents, Frankie and Scott, meet unexpectedly. Their homes are far apart: Frankie lives with her children on the North Norfolk coast, Scott in the mountains of British Columbia. Yet though thousands of miles divide them, a million little things connect them. A spark ignites, a recognition so strong that it dares them to take a risk.
For two families, life is about to change. But no-one anticipates the way in which it will be turned on its head forever.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
North's outstanding contemporary love story eschews a traditional happily-ever-after ending, but is no less romantic for that. From the moment Scott Emerson meets Frankie Shaw, their personalities take on the instantly recognizable luster of real-life love, and readers will immediately be reminded of the great loves in their own lives. Both characters are divorced single parents Scott has an adult daughter, Frankie has two tweens and are staring down early middle age. They are each in London on business when their eyes meet and their hearts engage. Despite the clich of meeting in a hotel lobby, exchanging pleasantries, and progressing to drinks and dinner, their encounter oozes nothing but sincere charm and self-effacing humor. But even while they bask in two blissful days together, they wonder whether being rooted on separate continents will doom the future of their love. Her rural England home is so far from his in British Columbia, and so many things can go wrong. Clearly North loves her characters as much as they love each other, and they're so wistfully guileless that readers will find it impossible to put down their five-hanky story until the last page is turned.
