A tender, sweeping love story about the lives we nearly live — and the courage it takes to choose differently.

Almost Life is Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s breathtaking story of love and longing, of the lives we almost live and the choices we don’t make ― and finding the courage to embrace who you really want to be. It’s already said to be One Day for a new generation, and we couldn’t agree more. So grab some tissues and a duvet, and settle down to meet Eric and Laurie – two characters who you’re about to fall hard for…

Immersive, sensual, beautiful and powerful

Marian Keyes

About the book:

Erica and Laure meet on the steps of the Sacré-Cœur in Paris, 1978. Erica is a student, relishing her first summer abroad before beginning university at home in England. Laure is studying for her Ph.D. at the Sorbonne, drinking and smoking far too much, and sleeping with a married woman. 

Their encounter turns into far more than a summer of love, spanning cities, decades and heartbreaks, fate brings them within touching distance again and again. But will they be brave enough to seize the life they truly want?

About the author:

Kiran Millwood Hargrave is a multi-award-winning, internationally bestselling novelist.
