'That is the story of our beginning. And this is the story of...the
end' Lovesong is the story of one couple, told from two different
points in their lives - as young lovers in their 20s and as worldly
companions looking back on their relationship. Their past and
present selves collide in this haunting and beautiful tale of
togetherness. All relationships have their ups and downs; the
optimism of youth becomes the wisdom of experience. Love is a leap
of faith.
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Both very funny and as
propulsive as a thriller...impossible to put down' RACHEL COOKE,
Observer 'Breathtaking . . . this book is a gift' MERYL STREEP 'The
kind of book you will find yourself saying urgently, over and over,
to friends: 'Have you read it?' CAITLIN MORAN 'Gripping, funny and
always honest' DAVID NICHOLLS 'Truly breathtaking. I could not have
loved it more' CAREY MULLIGAN ________________________ An ordinary
day. The end of ordinary life. One morning in June, Abi had her
to-do list - drop the kids to school, get coffee and go to work.
Jacob had a bad headache so she added 'pick up steroids'. She
returned home and found the man she loved and fought and laughed
with for twenty years lying on the bathroom floor. And nothing
would ever be the same again. But this is not a pity memoir. It's
about meeting your person. And crazed late night Google trawls.
It's about the things you wished you'd said to the person that
matters then wildly over-sharing with the barista who doesn't know
you at all. It's about sushi and the wrong shoes and the moments
you want to shout 'cut'. It's about the silence when you are lost
in space and the importance of family and parties and noise. It's
the difference between surviving and living. It's a reminder that,
even in the worst times, there is light ahead. It's a love story.
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Took my breath away . . . I
sobbed and laughed and then sobbed again. I think it puts life into
perspective but also, by being a love story, it defies many of the
norms. Morgan's unique voice rings out and she is a great companion
throughout' EMMA BARNETT, i-Paper, Books of the Year 'This is the
meditation on love and grief that we all need to read' The Skinny,
Books of the Year 'Extraordinary . . . utterly compelling and so
honestly told' NIGELLA LAWSON Both very funny and as propulsive as
a thriller . . . impossible to put down' RACHEL COOKE, Observer

opportunity to break free from her mundane life and joins the
Women's Social and Political Union. Together, the members of the
militant organisation attend regular meetings chaired by their
leader Emmeline Pankhurst (Streep) and plan their course of action
to ensure politicans acquiesce to their requests, by whatever means
necessary...
