Praise for THE SONGS OF US:
A warm and touching novel about love and loss, and the healing power of family
Poignant and beautifully written
[A] sweet, moving debut
This is a very special book indeed: funny, powerful, heart-wrenching and so poignant. I have laughed and cried and cried . . . it reminded me to hold my family close and tell each of them how much I love them
The Songs of Us is an emotional rollercoaster of a book that made me laugh and cry in equal measures. A tragically beautiful story of love and loss, family and hope. Emma Cooper has been swiftly added to my list of authors to read
Quirky, clever and original, this will break your heart, but put it back together again
Beautifully observed, tender and genuinely funny. Readers are going to love it!
A heartwarming, charming novel which had me falling in love and desperate to be part of their happy ending.
An evocative, warm and character-driven read that is truly memorable.
While this is resolutely a romantic story, the lines of love between friends and family are explored with such depth and delicacy...Cooper creates characters that come alive with pathos and heart and humour.
It's a tale to restore your belief in love conquering all... Witty and warm
A profoundly affecting, beautifully written story packed with heart and hope.
Sophie and Sam's story was a gorgeous heart-breaking rollercoaster of a love story that made me laugh and cry in equal measures.
