A NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'The beautiful love child of David Nicholl's One Day and Kate Atkinson's Life After Life' The Times What if one small decision could change the rest of your life? 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. As we follow three different versions of their future - together, and apart - their love story takes on different incarnations, as it twists and turns to the conclusion in the present day. 'A triumphant debut.. a thoughtful, measured book about the interplay of chance and destiny in our lives' Sunday Telegraph 'An utterly convincing love story about two people destined to be together somehow, no matter what' The Times 'Like Kate Atkinson's Life After Life or the film Sliding Doors, this fine debut offers multiple "what ifs"... Involving and poignant' The Sunday Times 'The tantalising "what if?" theme keeps all three stories going at a cracking pace' Daily Mail 'Truly enthralling... I simply adored this wonderful novel' Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist
