It Was Always You: a page-turning and uplifting love story you will never forget
Autor Emma Cooperen Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2022
Simțim, încă de la primele pagini, acea melancolie dulce-amăruie a întrebărilor de tip „ce-ar fi fost dacă”, o temă care prinde viață sub penelul sensibil al Emmei Cooper. În It Was Always You, atmosfera este una de realism magic discret, unde trecerea timpului nu este doar liniară, ci marcată de simboluri vizuale puternice — o haină verde, un fular roșu și un arc de triumf părăsit. Observăm cum autoarea transformă un moment banal, schimbarea orei din octombrie 1999, într-o ancoră care leagă trecutul de un prezent în care alegerile personajelor încep să se destrame. În tradiția lui Tom Ellen și a romanului său All about Us, această poveste reimaginează conceptul de a doua șansă, punând personajul central în fața unei oglinzi care nu reflectă doar chipul de acum, ci și potențialul unei vieți care nu a mai fost trăită. Stilul este fluid, alternând între nostalgia tinereții și greutatea responsabilităților adulte, fără a cădea în sentimentalism excesiv. Găsim aici aceeași abilitate de a echilibra tragedia cu speranța pe care Emma Cooper a demonstrat-o în The Songs of Us, lucrarea sa de debut premiată. Dacă în scrierile anterioare accentul cădea pe legăturile de familie neconvenționale, aici explorăm profunzimea unei iubiri care trebuie să decidă dacă merită salvată sau dacă destinul are pregătit un alt scenariu.

'Absolutely magical! So romantic and heartfelt' JOSIE SILVER
On the last night in October 1999 the clocks went back, and Ella and Will's love began.
A teenage Ella sat around a bonfire drinking with her future husband and her oldest friend Cole.
As Ella wandered away from the group, she found herself leaning against a derelict
archway before passing out.
The next day, Ella remembered fractured images of a conversation with a woman in a green coat and red scarf but dismissed it as a drunken dream.
Twenty-three years later, with her marriage to Will in trouble, and Cole spiralling out of control, Ella opens a gift which turns her life upside down: a green coat and red scarf.
When she looks in the mirror, the woman from the archway is reflected back at her.
As the last Sunday in October arrives, Ella is faced with a choice. Would she choose a different life, if she could do it again?

Recenzii
THIS BOOK! My favourite Emma Cooper book to date. It's romantic, heart-breaking and a real page-turner. I had no idea what was going to happen and I loved every second. It's left me with a book hangover. I LOVED IT!
A beautiful, moving, and heart wrenching book to give you all the feels. A real page-turning plot, but it's the characters who make it: Will, Ella and Cole are three brilliantly real characters who you can't help but want to spend time with, all the way to the heart stopping conclusion.
Absolutely magical! Emma always creates such wonderfully compelling characters, they jump off the page and into your heart. So romantic and heartfelt, I didn't want it to end
