Description
Winner of the Romantic Novel of the Year Award 2022.
A gorgeous love story that will restore your faith in humanity
Lisa was a professional astronomer: a stargazer. And when she gazed at her husband Alex, she saw that behind his tough exterior was a man full of love.
Alex, Lisa and their young son Connor made a happy little universe. But when Lisa dies suddenly, their universe is shattered.
Then Alex meets four strangers. Two men and two women, who never met Lisa, but whose lives changed profoundly because of her. As Alex hears their stories, he begins to find his way back to love, and to hope. Perhaps, after all, the future is written in the stars...

Don't forget the tissues!' * Sun * The subject matter is sensitively handled though have tissues on standby * Belfast Telegraph * A beautiful story * Bella * Uplifting * Choice * An 'unputdownable' novel that kept me up half the night as I raced to the last page... Atkins is in a field of her own but comparable writers are Diane Chamberlain, Cecelia Ahern and Amanda Prowse. Have a box of tissues to hand' * Guernsey Press & Star * A complete, emotive tale, this was easy to compare to Nicky Pellegrino's Tiny Pieces Of Us. All the right ingredients for a satisfying read to snuggle with as these cooler nights close in * Paper Plus (NZ bookshop) * A passionate story of love, loss and healing * People's Friend * Dani Atkins' captivating story is a rollercoaster of a read, infused with heartbreaking tragedy and an uplifting sense of hope * Woman's Own *More details
