A stunning new love story from Cecelia Ahern about two people who share something they know nothing about. The book opens with a terrible fall -- Joyce loses her baby and nearly her own life. As she recovers in hospital, she sees the futility of her marriage and vows to start afresh. Meanwhile, Jeremy, a visiting US lecturer in Dublin, whose own marriage is over and who is wrestling his own demons, is persuaded to give blood by a beautiful doctor he hopes to take out on a date. Jeremy and Joyce's paths cross only days later. But their fates are more entangled than they think. Another poignant, uplifting love story from this unique voice.
