Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd ISBN: 9780718157838 Number of pages: 528 Weight: 351 g Dimensions: 198 x 129 x 30 mm MEDIA REVIEWS She won the hearts of legions of readers with her poignant novel Me Before You, introducing the popular character Lou Clark whose story continues in the follow-up novels After You and Still Me. After a decade as a successful journalist, she turned to writing fiction with her first book Sheltering Rain. One of Britain’s most popular novelists, Jojo Moyes worked variously as a minicab controller and brochure writer for Club 18-30 before winning a bursary to attend a course in journalism. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun teashop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. Will needed Lou as much as she needed him, but will her love be enough to save his life?
