2 journalers for this copy...
Lauren Pailing is born in the sixties, and a child of the seventies. She is thirteen years old the first time she dies.
Lauren Pailing is a teenager in the eighties, becomes a Londoner in the nineties. And each time she dies, new lives begin for the people who loved her - while Lauren enters a brand new life, too.
But in each of Lauren's lives, a man called Peter Stanning disappears. And, in each of her lives, Lauren sets out to find him.
And so it is that every ending is also a beginning. And so it is that, with each new beginning, Peter Stanning inches closer to finally being found...
When I saw the title of this book at Big W nearly six months ago (!), it really intrigued me so I had to read the back cover. I was then hooked, and read it in ~ 2 days. It was one of my favourite 2020 reads. I liked the sliding doors aspect, and also it was not a straightforward timeline for the multiple variations - I know I'll read it again!
I bought another copy for a dear BC friend - I remember thinking I should send it to you as I was reading it. Hope you enjoy it too!
