The Last List of Mabel Beaumont
THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER A heartbreaking read of loss and hope from Laura Pearson The list he left had just one item on it. Or, at least, it did at first... Mabel Beaumont’s husband Arthur loved lists. He’d leave them for her everywhere. ‘Remember: eggs, butter, sugar’. ‘I love you: today, tomorrow, always’. But now Arthur is gone. He died: softly, gently, not making a fuss. But he’s still left her a list. This one has just one item on it though: ‘Find D’. Mabel feels sure she knows what it means. She must track down her best friend Dot, who she hasn’t seen since the fateful day she left more than sixty years ago. It seems impossible. She doesn’t even know if Dot’s still alive. Also, every person Mabel talks to seems to need help first, with missing husbands, daughters, parents. Mabel finds her list is just getting longer, and she’s still no closer to finding Dot. What she doesn’t know is that her list isn’t just about finding her old friend. And that if she can admit the secrets of the past, maybe she could even find happiness again... A completely heartbreaking, beautiful, uplifting story, guaranteed to make you smile but also make you cry. Perfect for fans of A Man Called Ove, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and The Keeper of Stories. Readers are loving The Last List of Mabel Beaumont: ‘Tender and beautiful...

The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up
From the NUMBER ONE bestselling author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont comes a powerful story of memory, loss, love, and new beginnings... When Shelley Woodhouse wakes up in hospital from a coma, the first thing she says is that her husband must be arrested. He’s the reason she’s in here. She knows it. She remembers what he did. Clearly as anything. But there are things Shelley has forgotten too, including parts of her childhood. And as those start to come back to her, so do other memories. Ones with the power to change everything. But can she trust these new memories, or what anyone around her is telling her? And who is the mysterious hospital volunteer who brings her food and keeps making her smile? Is it possible to find your future when you're confused about your past? An unmissable and heartbreaking story, that fans of David Nicholls, Jojo Moyes and Jodi Picoult will love.

A tough, eye-opening and important story told with compassion and sensitivity and characters who came alive on the page.{::}An absolute must read’ Louise Fein ‘Heart-wrenching, compassionate and empowering, Laura Pearson has done it again. An emotional five stars from me’ Zoe Folbigg ‘I absolutely adored The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up. I loved the dual timeline, it kept me guessing throughout, and I loved the cast of characters around Shelley – the friends and family who helped her find herself and her lost memories again. It dealt with some sensitive issues with care, and I was completely lost in Shelley’s world, desperate for her to rediscover her truth’ Clare Swatman ‘Intriguing, moving and full of compassion... Will stay with me for a long time to come. In Shelley, Pearson has created a character who represents abused women as so much more than the victims of their abuser. Shelley is funny and brave, she’s a friend, a business owner, a daughter, a partner. Her strength shines through from the very first page... Part mystery, part emotional drama and entirely engrossing, I highly recommend you read this book’ Lisa Timoney ‘Pearson’s characters may not be safe, but her readers always are. You know you’re in good hands when you pick up a book by Laura. In Shelley Woodhouse, we meet another strong and complex woman, who, in her search for the truth about her forgotten recent past, discovers not just facts but love and hope... Another beautiful story with humanity at its heart’ Amy Beashel ‘Uplifting... The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up handles a serious topic with empathy and grace’ Alison Stockham ‘Such an absorbing, compassionate and ultimately optimistic novel. I loved it’ Kate Eberlen
