Louisa Clark is wandering aimlessly in and out of the job centre when she's offered a six-month contract as a companion to quadriplegic Will Traynor, a former adrenaline junkie and City worker whose life has been intractably changed by a run-in with a motorcycle. They make an unusual pair, throwing each other completely off-balance.
Although it may seem as if this novel will be a straightforward love story, it is anything but, facing head on the difficult subjects of living with disability and voluntary euthanasia with poignancy, sensitivity and a good deal of humour.
A sequel, ‘After You’ is due to be published later this month, and a film of the book will be released in 2016.
