Life Number Nine

"A beautifully written love story that travels beyond epic' ANSTEY HARRIS, author of THE HOUSE OF LOST SECRETS 'A cosmically thwarted romance' DAILY MAIL From the critically acclaimed author of THE RULES OF SEEING and WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS For Mika and Jem, love is love; wherever, whenever and whoever they are… When they meet by chance, perfect strangers, they recognise each other – not from life, but from a shared dream. Both are wary of forming new connections, but as their dreams – or are they memories? – grow in intensity, they are forced to consider the possibility that they have known and loved each other over and over, across the centuries. Will they find happiness together this time? LIFE NUMBER NINE is an extraordinary literary achievement and a groundbreaking love story. READERS ARE SAYING… 'An epic literary achievement and a groundbreaking love story' ‘A love story like no other. Joe Heap writes with the soul of a poet’ ‘Ah hauntingly beautiful love story that transcends time’ ‘One of those books I want to reread the minute I finished the last page’ ‘So achingly beautiful that it takes your breath away’"

When the Music Stops

"‘The sheer definition of a page-turner’ Reader review ‘A truly original, bittersweet tale of life, loss and enduring love that had me completely hooked. A treasure of a book!’ Sunday Times bestseller, Ruth Hogan ‘Stunning, stunning, stunning’ Anstey Harris This is the story of Ella. And Robert. And of all the things they should have said, but never did. ‘What have you been up to?’ I shrug, ‘Just existing, I guess.’ ‘Looks like more than just existing.’ Robert gestures at the baby, the lifeboat, the ocean. ‘All right, not existing. Surviving.’ He laughs, not unkindly. ‘Sounds grim.’ ‘It wasn’t so bad, really. But I wish you’d been there.’ Ella has known Robert all her life. Through seven key moments and seven key people their journey intertwines. From the streets of Glasgow during WW2 to the sex, drugs and rock n’ roll of London in the 60s and beyond, this is a story of love and near misses. Of those who come in to our lives and leave it too soon. And of those who stay with you forever… Readers LOVE When the Music Stops! ‘Endearing and beautifully told’ Janet ‘Stunning …with touches of a modern day Jane Eyre in that invisible space between the pages. Unusual. Rare. Magical. Highly recommended.’ Jenny ‘What a storyteller this author is…The closing chapters are sublime, and brought me to tears. A beautiful ending. This book will remain with me long after I write this review’ Janette ‘It mixes the ordinary with the extraordinary…in one way a version of David Nicholls’ One Day’ Jane ‘I fell in love with this lovely book…it’s about the things that connect us. A terrific read’ Pamela ‘This is going to leave a few people with tears in their eyes…read it in one sitting’ Louisa ‘There was one scene that overwhelmed me, had me crying so much I had to put the book down and take a breather. I went back after 15 mins to re-read, and cried again…Joe Heap does not disappoint’ Reader review ‘ I just loved Ella and lived every step of her journey…a compulsive read’ Bren ‘I’m swiftly becoming a big fan of Joe Heap!’ Emily"
