For fans of Sally Rooney’s Normal People An extraordinary story of friendship and love across class lines, this rich, evocative novel traces the history of modern Italy, from 1975 to 2013, through the fate of one couple. Valerio and Olivia grow up together in the Morganti family’s opulent villa in Bologna, inseparable friends even though they come from vastly different worlds: Olivia, the Morgantis’ daughter, is the heir to a large industrial fortune, while Valerio is the son of their gardener and maid. Largely sheltered from the dangers rampant in the unstable Italy of the 1970s, the two share their first innocent kiss at five years old, which heralds the start of a decades-long relationship. From Valerio having to move to a poor neighborhood in Rome and Olivia making her entrance in high society, life tries to separate them at every turn, but without success, so strong is the bond between them. Year after year they meet only for a few moments, which feel like they’re eternal, and their friendship turns into something more intense, and scary. They take different paths: Olivia travels the world looking for herself, while Valerio devotes himself to a prestigious career that doesn’t satisfy him, in a country that is quickly losing its identity in the political crises of the Berlusconi era. Still, they keep meeting again and again at crossroads in life.

'I enjoyed Out of Love hugely! It's vivid, very compelling storytelling' Marian Keyes 'I fell in love with this book. The writing was good enough to make me forget I had a phone, put it that way' Aisling Bea 'Out of Love will fill the gap that Normal People left in our heart . . . Trust us, this is the book of the summer' Evoke 'Wise, compelling and beautifully written' Daily Mail 'What a book . . . Hayes references Nora Ephron throughout and she's a pretty good successor judging from this debut' Stylist A novel for anyone who has loved and lost, and lived to tell the tale. As a young woman packs up her ex-boyfriend’s belongings and prepares to see him one last time, she wonders where it all went wrong, and whether it was ever right to begin with. Burdened with a broken heart, she asks herself the age-old question . . . is love really worth it? Out of Love is a bittersweet romance told in reverse. Beginning at the end of a relationship, each chapter takes us further back in time, weaving together an already unravelled tapestry, from tragic break-up to magical first kiss. In this dazzling debut Hazel Hayes performs a post-mortem on love, tenderly but unapologetically exploring every angle, from the heights of joy to the depths of grief, and all the madness and mundanity in between. This is a modern story with the heart of a classic: truthful, tragic and ultimately full of hope.

When we marry, we always hope it is forever. However, for many of us, this is not the case. So, what if you find yourself in a marriage that is not your destiny? What happens next? Often, you are left wondering who you are, questioning where you are going and what the future has in store for you. Yet you know in your heart, you must move on. In 2021, Lisa Brearley found herself in this position, and her marriage of 26 years came to an end. With a strong desire to start living her life on her terms, she embarked on a journey of personal discovery and self-love that would completely transform her world. In her must-read memoir A Year of Love: Taking Risks Big and Small, Finding My Soulmate to Win It All she recounts the joys, challenges and adventure she experienced throughout the 12 months that followed her decision to end her first marriage and choose a life of liberty. After many years of devoting herself to her children and family, like many women, Lisa had lost a sense of who she truly was. A conversation with a friend sparked her interest in personal development, and after attending a 3-day course, she realized that it’s never too late to start making life changes that can expand and alter your future. With an open mind and a willingness to seek and embrace new experiences, Lisa started to live her life more fully, taking risks she would never have dreamed of before. She relished the opportunity to make decisions that would positively impact her life, and began to feel her emotions more deeply than she had ever imagined was possible. Following her new-found path and embracing the power of risk taking led her to a week-long personal development retreat. It was here that, unexpectedly, destiny stepped in and changed the trajectory of her life once more, as she found her soul mate and fell in love. Throughout this inspiring and deeply personal book, Lisa shares an honest account of a life transformed. As you follow her year-long journey of self-love and self-discovery, you too can discover your inner strength and rediscover your long-forgotten passions. Lisa has written this book for those who deserve a change in their life. For those who know that love, care and respect are possible. That anything is possible when you have someone who believes in you and are willing to take a risk. From a place of feeling unworthy and stuck, where change seemed impossible, Lisa is now on a wonderfully fulfilling life journey that is full of adventure, happiness and positive relationships. When you come to realize and accept that our time on this earth is limited, like Lisa, you can find the inner strength to choose a life of love and liberty. This inspiring book will give you the belief in yourself and motivation you need to take the first step in your own journey, where you uncover your true life purpose and destiny.
