A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK
A heartwarming and emotionally poignant time-loop novel about a stressed woman who must relive the same day over and over, keeping her family and work life from imploding as she attempts to change the course of her life.
Dan is Emma’s person. She’s known it since the first time she saw him dressed in lederhosen on the tube.
On their fifteen year ‘dateversary’, Emma texts a list of everything she should have told Dan that morning.
Tell the kids to remember their homework…
And their gloves.
Can you defrost some sausages?
Emma just forgets to write the most important words of all – I love you – and by the end of the day everything changes.
Or does it? Emma is given the chance to rewrite their future – if she can just figure out their past…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Major (The Silent Hours) draws on Groundhog Day for a poignant tale of love, regret, and second chances involving a London couple. High-powered literary agent Emma, married with two children to hopeless romantic Dan, has forgotten to write him a letter on Monday, December 3—the day the two met on a London tube. Dan has come to expect these letters each year, and after a tiff, he goes out to walk the dog—and gets hit by a car and dies. Or does he? Emma wakes up the next morning and suddenly it's Monday, December 3, all over again, and she has a second chance to show Dan how much she loves him. For months, Emma and Dan are caught in a time loop of endless Mondays, and despite Emma's most fervent efforts—ignoring the constant pings from WhatsApp is a significant sacrifice—Dan dies every time, whether by car, heart attack, or other circumstance. Things culminate in a surprising coincidence, and Major caps it all off with an ambiguous ending. Well-drawn supporting characters add depth, in particular Emma's sister-in-law, Hattie, with whom the couple is especially close, and whom Emma forces herself to make more time for as well. Women's fiction fans will love this tearjerker.

Wanted to love it
The message is sound. The means for getting the message across is frustrating and not believable.
