The Very Thought of You by Rosie Alison

Without question one of the best debuts I've read in recent years. -- John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Irresistibly romantic ...a highly-charged story of love, longing, betrayal and loss ... written with such conviction that you can’t help but be swept along by its intensity. * The Mail on Sunday *
...Through a series of subtle plot devices and a haunting contemplation of the different kinds of love that we meet in our lifetime, the story builds to a page-turning and tear-jerking climax. * Lancashire Evening Post *
A hugely affecting novel * The Yorkshire Post *
Melancholic, mysterious and heartbreakingly gorgeous. * The Times *
A sincere attempt to depict the reverberations of war - chronicling fractured relationships and the inability to love in the right way... Anna is a likeable and memorable heroine. * The Guardian *
