People 's Book of the Week One of People 's Best Books of 2023 So Far "One of the freshest love stories I've read in years."--Colleen Oakley, author of The Invisible Husband of Frick Island "A heartfelt valentine to hope." -- People "A haunting love story--literally."-- Best magazine (UK) "Equal parts tender, sparkling, and authentic, Louisa Young's prose is like watching a flower open, each moment beautiful, mesmerizing, and better than the last. Twelve Months and a Day will have readers captivated from beginning to end." --Amy E. Reichert, author of Once Upon a December "Deeply emotional...An impressive and poignant romance." -- Publishers Weekly "Readers of this novel full of wisdom, joy, and sorrow should have their tissues handy as they read."-- Booklist (starred review) "A tale of two love stories with a supernatural twist...[Caused] a bitter-sweet pang in my heart as it ended." --Monique Roffey, author of Archipelago and The White Woman on the Green Bicycle "The words 'emotional roller coaster' seem coined for Louisa Young's beautiful, bittersweet novel, as heart-stoppingly romantic as it's heartbreakingly sad...A lovely, moving, ultimately hopeful read."--The Express (UK) "A wonderful and inventive novel, sorrowful and hopeful in equal measure. It was a true pleasure to read." --Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace, "A wonderful and inventive novel, sorrowful and hopeful in equal measure. It was a true pleasure to read." --Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace "What a writer. A raw and beautiful exposition on grief and loss but so beautifully earthed in the everyday. Terrific." --Elizabeth Buchan, author of Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman "Not many people can pull off a story where two ghosts try to bring the partners they left behind together, but Louisa Young apparently can and did. More than a novel, this is a treatise on love, death and grief that utterly blew me away. One of the freshest love stories I've read in years."--Colleen Oakley, author of The Invisible Husband of Frick Island "Equal parts tender, sparkling, and authentic, Louisa Young's prose is like watching a flower open, each moment beautiful, mesmerizing, and better than the last. Twelve Months and a Day will have readers captivated from beginning to end." --Amy E. Reichert, author of Once Upon a December "A tale of two love stories with a supernatural twist, Twelve Months and a Day is poignant and sad as well as funny and beautifully written and imagined. What if our beloveds lived on as ghosts and watched us grieve, what if they never really leave us, and what if some of these ghosts even meet? You will fall in love again as you read this clever book by a writer who understands grief. Hugely engaging and readable. A bitter-sweet pang in my heart as it ended. A page-turner." --Monique Roffey, author of Archipelago and The White Woman on the Green Bicycle "The words "emotional roller coaster" seem coined for Louisa Young's beautiful, bittersweet novel, as heart-stoppingly romantic as it's heartbreakingly sad... Young has a playfully light touch, delighting in the absurdity of the supernatural situation and the unusual romantic complications, even as she explores the heavy emotional burden that death brings. A lovely, moving, ultimately hopeful read."--The Express (UK) "A modern day Truly Madly Deeply ...Rasmus and Roisin both lose their partners, but the ghosts of Nico and Jay stay, unable to leave their loved ones alone as the broken-hearted pair find comfort in each other. Beautifully written, this is a haunting love story--literally." -- Best Magazine (UK) "Delicately balanced between wry and tender, Twelve Months and a Day is both an exorcism of the most brutal pain of final separation and a way of managing the stubborn refusal of the mind to accept absolute absence. Thoughtful, philosophical and clever, it is also funny, and full of poetry, and powered by an unflagging and irresistible belief in the redemptive power of love." -- Perspectives Magazine (UK) "Louisa Young is the great chronicler of romantic love and the pain of its loss." --Linda Grant, author of The Clothes on Their Backs "Left me happily in bits. A skillfully calibrated love-after-death tale, it's a four-course feast of hearts broken, hearts mended, of songs, laughter, old regrets and fresh desire that demands a major film deal." --Patrick Gale, author of A Place Called Winter "A beautiful book. Insanely romantic and utterly convincing." --Julie Myerson, author of The Stopped Heart, "One of the freshest love stories I've read in years."--Colleen Oakley, author of The Invisible Husband of Frick Island "A haunting love story--literally."-- Best magazine (UK) "Equal parts tender, sparkling, and authentic, Louisa Young's prose is like watching a flower open, each moment beautiful, mesmerizing, and better than the last.

Synopsis
A poignant, modern love story about a young widow and widower and the two ghosts that bring them together because although love changes form, it never dies. "Heart-stoppingly romantic."-- The Express (UK) Two couples. Four unfinished lives. A love that transcends space and time. Rasmus and Jay, Róisín and Nico: two couples, strangers to each other. Two beautiful, ordinary love stories, cut short. Both in their thirties and too young to be widowed, Róisín swears she still feels Nico beside her in bed and Rasmus hears Jay as he writes songs at the piano. Jay and Nico don't even believe in ghosts, yet here they still are. Still in love with Rasmus and Róisín. And maddeningly powerless. Until Jay has an idea that Nico wants no part of--bringing Róisín and Rasmus together. It's crazy enough that it just might work, but playing matchmaker to the living is no easy feat and one that will require all four of them to discover the meaning of love after loss, and the importance of fighting for happiness against all odds. Moving and thought-provoking, playful and bittersweet, Twelve Months and a Day asks what is love? And what are we to do with it?
