Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I am a writer. I enjoy piecing together the narrative. I like being one step ahead of the audience with my insider knowledge. I am a fraud. I am uneducated and unbrilliant. #2 I like to know how my story is going to end. And when I don’t know, there is a sort of blind panic that unsettles, unnerves, and terrifies me. I have to wait until the sound of the reverberating hum fades before I can begin to breathe again. #3 I was with Jacob when he collapsed. I couldn’t decide if his lips were blue or not, so I called 999. The ambulance arrived, and when the woman on the phone asked if Jacob was breathing, I said yes. #4 I am a woman who has a successful career, has won awards, earned her own money, owns property, and has raised two children. I am a woman who intellectually, politically, and philosophically knows that marriage is not an essential badge of honor. Yet still, if asked by a random stranger or parent at some obscure PTA event, How long have you been married. I feel embarrassed. Caught out.
This is Not a Pity Memoir
Both very funny and as propulsive as a thriller . . . impossible to put down' RACHEL COOKE, Observer 'The kind of book you will find yourself saying urgently, over and over, to friends: 'Have you read it?' CAITLIN MORAN 'Gripping, funny and always honest' DAVID NICHOLLS 'Extraordinary . . . utterly compelling and so honestly told' NIGELLA LAWSON 'Truly breathtaking. I could not have loved it more' CAREY MULLIGAN ________________________ An ordinary day. The end of ordinary life. One morning in June, Abi had her to-do list - drop the kids to school, get coffee and go to work. Jacob had a bad headache so she added 'pick up steroids'. She returned home and found the man she loved and fought and laughed with for twenty years lying on the bathroom floor. And nothing would ever be the same again. But this is not a pity memoir. It's about meeting your person. And crazed late night Google trawls. It's about the things you wished you'd said to the person that matters then wildly over-sharing with the barista who doesn't know you at all. It's about sushi and the wrong shoes and the moments you want to shout 'cut'. It's about the silence when you are lost in space and the importance of family and parties and noise. It's the difference between surviving and living. It's a reminder that, even in the worst times, there is light ahead. It's a love story.
Lovesong
'That is the story of our beginning. And this is the story of...the end' Lovesong is the story of one couple, told from two different points in their lives – as young lovers in their 20s and as worldly companions looking back on their relationship. Their past and present selves collide in this haunting and beautiful tale of togetherness. All relationships have their ups and downs; the optimism of youth becomes the wisdom of experience. Love is a leap of faith.
