The Story of You by Julie Myerson
A freezing room in a student house, a sagging mattress on the floor, and two people, one nineteen, the other twenty, kissing passionately. And why, when he emails her out of the blue two days later, does he write as though they haven't met for twenty years?
"Grief isn't normally the stuff of page-turners but Myerson, in stark, simple prose - seemingly effortless, though I suspect far from it - has constructed a compelling thriller out of it.. A terrific read" -- John Harding * Daily Mail *
"Achingly brilliant...a haunting and compelling tale of memory, grief and obsession" * Sunday Express *
"A powerful, moving study of sadness and the uncanny" -- Ludovic Hunter-Tilney * Financial Times *
"Will haunt you to the last page" * Scotsman *
"This is an extraordinary, peculiar, mesmerising novel - the collected wail of middle-aged female anguish is brilliantly articulated. Myerson is one the select few who can write convincingly about a passionate love affair, with all its exquisite pains and barbed pleasures" * New Statesman *
