Reader praise for Love in Pieces:

'Filled with lessons of family, hope, and self discovery, Love in Pieces is a beautiful book that will stay with you a long time'

'Great characters and a very well thought out plot!'

'Anouska did such a good job of making me care, feel connected to the people and stories'

'This book really is special and I can't recommend it enough.'

……….

What is loved can never be lost …

On Nancy’s phone sits a column of texts to her sister Molly which have never been answered. Wherever Molly has been for the last two years, she might have found time to let her family know what she’s doing.

At a loss, Nancy distracts herself, working long hours at her city job; until the day she is rushed to hospital with a suspected heart attack. Nancy’s been working a little too hard. Drinking a little more than she should. Everything has become just a bit too much.

Now the only sensible option for recuperation is to return to the place she has been avoiding: her mum’s house. Molly may not be there in person, but her presence is everywhere – in the village and in their home, where everything remains untouched, waiting for her safe return. As Nancy begins to let down her guard and reconnect with her family and childhood friend Clarence, the secrets she’s run from for two years become increasingly hard to escape.

But could opening her broken heart be the best way to put it back together?

……….

'This was an incredibly heartfelt book and while it broke my heart, it then put it back together again. It was raw and it was real. It felt like every word had been so carefully considered to be true to the characters and the plot. A truly beautifully written, life-affirming read that felt like the author totally and utterly poured her heart and soul into it. I've not been able to stop thinking about it since and it's still brought a tear to my eye. Powerful and emotional. Highly recommended' KIM NASH
