Twelve Months and a Day (okładka  twarda, wyd. 06.2022)

People die. Love doesn`t. `A bitter-sweet pang in my heart` Monique Roffey `A beautiful book. Insanely romantic and utterly convincing` Julie Myerson `A wonderful and inventive novel, sorrowful and hopeful in equal measure. It was a true pleasure to read` Miranda Cowley Heller `Louisa Young is the great chronicler of romantic love and the pain of its loss` Linda Grant `What a writer... so beautifully earthed in the everyday. Terrific` Elizabeth Buchan `A skilfully calibrated love-after-death tale, it`s a four course feast of hearts broken, hearts mended, of songs, laughter, old regrets and fresh desire, that demands a major film deal` Patrick Gale `A wonderful novel, charming and surprising, filled with loss and its triumphant opposites` Susie Boyt Rasmus and Jay, Roisin and Nico - two beautiful, ordinary love stories, cut short by death. Jay and Nico don`t even believe in ghosts, yet they seem to be... still here. Still in love with Rasmus and Roisin. And maddeningly powerless. Both are incapable of leaving the living alone: Jay plays matchmaker, convinced that Rasmus and Roisin can heal each other; Nico, plagued by jealousy, doesn`t agree. Rasmus and Roisin are just trying to navigate their newly widowed lives. But all four of them are thinking the same thing: what is love, after death? What is it for? And what are we to do with it? Moving and thought-provoking, playful and bittersweet, this is a Truly, Madly, Deeply for our times, showcasing one of Britain`s finest contemporary writers at her very best.
