Synopsis
A RICHARD AND JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK AND NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
What if you had said yes . . . ?
Eva and Jim are nineteen, and students at Cambridge, when their paths first cross in 1958. Jim is walking along a lane when a woman approaching him on a bicycle swerves to avoid a dog. What happens next will determine the rest of their lives. We follow three different versions of their future - together, and apart - as their love story takes on different incarnations and twists and turns to the conclusion in the present day.
The Versions of Us is an outstanding debut novel about the choices we make and the different paths that our lives might follow. What if one small decision could change the rest of your life?
Laura's Barnett's new book GREATEST HITS is available for pre-order now.

Review
Summer Reading choice: an intriguing debut (SUNDAY TIMES)
Summer Reading recommendation: the beautiful love child of David Nicholl's One Day and Kate Atkinson's Life After Life (THE TIMES)
Summer Reading recommendation: I am 20 pages in and already hooked on Laura Barnett's counterfactual THE VERSIONS OF US, which is a kind of literary Sliding Doors (THE OBSERVER)
a triumphant debut.. a thoughtful, measured book about the interplay of chance and destiny in our lives. (Elena Seymenliyska SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
Its very scope is a joy, the technical achievement seamlessly done, and the ending - all the endings - suitably affecting (Jenny Colgan THE GUARDIAN)
Barnett renders an irresistible concept in sweet, cool prose - a bit like a choose-your-own adventure book in which you don't have to choose. (Hepzibah Anderson THE OBSERVER)
The Versions of Us is well written, deftly crafted and constantly surprising, in the way that chaotic real life is surprising; through the technical exercise might sound a tad mechanical, Laura Barnett uses it with verve to tell an utterly convincing love story about two people destined to be together somehow, no matter what. (Kate Saunders THE TIMES)
Like Kate Atkinson's Life After Life or the film Sliding Doors, The Versions of Us, a fine debut by Laura Barnett, offers multiple "what ifs"... involving and poignant. (SUNDAY TIMES)
Maeve Binchy's death left a gap in the market for stories simply told with no literary affectation. Barnett's promising first novel reads like early Binchy.. the tantalising 'what if?' theme keeps all three stories going at a cracking pace. (DAILY MAIL)
An affecting and thought-provoking work, The Versions of Us will keep you gripped until the tear-jerking conclusion. (DAILY EXPRESS)
