Twelve books. Twelve months. One chance to mend her heart…
When Tilly Nightingale receives a phone call telling her that her husband has left her a birthday gift at the local bookshop, she can’t hide her surprise. Partly because she can’t remember the last time she read a book just for pleasure. But mostly because Joe died five months ago…
The gift is simple – twelve books carefully chosen by Joe, one for each month, to help her turn the page on the first year of her life without him. And so begins a reading-inspired journey that takes Tilly around the world: from the bustling sidewalks of New York and the tree-lined boulevards of Paris to the quiet countryside of Tuscany and the white-sand beaches of Bali. With the help of Alfie, the bookshop owner, Tilly begins to discover her new self, in life after Joe. But can Tilly’s year of books show her how to love again?
