**** Zoe’s world has never been quite the same after a heartbreaking loss and, after a month off work, she returns to everyone tiptoeing around her. She knows she’ll never be the same carefree party girl she was before, even as she tries to hold on to what she’s lost. Then she meets Cian – her disarmingly charming colleague, who’s working from home after a climbing accident left him temporarily immobile. As they spend the summer hiding from the heatwave, arguing about Studio Ghibli, and sharing moments of vulnerability, their cautious friendship grows into something deeper. But with Cian grappling with his own restless spirit, and Zoe continuing to keep everyone at arm’s length, there are a hundred reasons for them to hit the brakes. Zoe has a choice to make – will she retreat into her shell and cling to the safety of what she knows, or take a leap of faith and risk it all? Between Yesterday and Tomorrow is a story of courage and connection, and examines the messy, beautiful ways we rebuild our lives when everything feels broken. It finds the humour in the darkest moments and reminds readers of the quiet ways to love and to hope. **** Praise for Luan Goldie ‘Important and remarkable’ Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry ‘Luan Goldie is one of the most important voices in contemporary British fiction … A story of resilience, family and community, it is finely wrought and unnervingly timely’ Kia Abdullah ‘Intense and powerful novel’ Platinum ‘A brilliant book written with warmth and sensitivity that I recommend most highly. I loved it unreservedly’ My Weekly
