What to expect
'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.
