Description
When an acclaimed Scottish author, on a book tour to the US to promote his latest romantic novel, The Forever Moment, meets a young woman who looks strikingly similar to a long-lost love from a high-school exchange to Kentucky, he wonders if he left behind more than memories twenty-two years ago.
But when he digs deeper and is finally reunited with his lost love, who he thought had abandoned him after a whirlwind romance, he discovers that life isn't quite like the plot of a trashy novel. And some memories can hold you back as well as spur you on.
The Forever Moment is a wryly funny, dramatic and gripping story that takes us back to the first heady stirrings of teenage romance. It examines how we hold onto and romanticise the past, which can stop us moving forward. And that, with maturity, comes a deeper understanding.
'Compelling. A real page-turner. Full of romance, comedy and great one-liners.' David Lister, The Independent
'A beautifully written and deeply touching love story, with an elegant plot, and an engaging protagonist.' Leigh Russell, bestselling author of the Geraldine Steel series
