A small-life-big-dreams weepie that'll have you snivelling ecstatically into your cocoa
'A strikingly original tale which captivates from the first page . . . There are all sorts of unusual touches in this magical novel . . . [Moyes] creates a cast of very believable and sympathetic characters and maintains the tension throughout.'
'A tale brimming with tenderness and romance'
An engaging and moving tale of love and loss, bravery and the determination to beat the odds
Moyes is a romantic, and there is a gloriously happy ending, but the story is also surprising and genuinely moving
A tale brimming with tenderness and romance.
A strikingly original tale which captivates from the first page.
An inspiring love story ... Billy Elliot in jodhpurs.
I had to keep reminding myself that I was not, in fact, reading Dickens . . . Moyes's vision of people lifted from despair by nothing more than love (and a little money) is nothing if not poignant.
