In Pieces: Harvill

We never remember a love story from beginning to end . . .

It's 2006. The Arctic Monkeys are at number one, and Nell's heart is broken.

When her boyfriend, Matthew, ends their relationship, seemingly out of nowhere, Nell is left reeling. As she throws herself into a life without him, she finds comfort in old friends and the thrill of adventure with new ones.

But just as love begins to feel possible again, a crisis changes everything Nell thought about hers and Matthew's story - and their break-up.

Told in 100 jigsaw-like fragments, unfolding out of sequence as they gradually fit into place, In Pieces is a warm, wise and uplifting novel about falling in love, falling apart and the people who pick up the pieces, perfect for fans of Talking at Night and Good Material.
