The Space Between Us



Real friends know you better than you know yourself - and love you twice as much

From babyhood Eve and Lily were best friends. But one summer apart, one huge fight and 17 years later Eve wakes up from a horrific accident to find her old friend nursing her.

At first, their reunion is tentative - Lily merely doing her duty and Eve distracted by her own pain and grief. But during Eve's many months in hospital they confront both the lies of the past and their present failures. Each sees what the other must do to get a messy life back on track: Lily needs to leave an impossible marriage and Eve has to face up to the pain her actions have caused others.

The crisis that brought Eve and Lily together again seems like a blessing that has given their friendship a second chance when they both most need a true friend. Little do they suspect that it is under a threat that will change the future forever ...

About the author

Anna McPartlin

Anna McPartlin is a novelist and scriptwriter. Her previous incarnation as a stand-up comedian left an indelible mark. She describes herself as a slave to the joke and finds humour and humanity in even the darkest situations. Anna lives in Wicklow with her husband and animals.

Anna McPartlin's experience of losing her parents at a young age has given her a profound understanding of loss, surviving it, and making the very best of life. Before becoming a full-time writer Anna was, amongst other things, a stand-up comedian and a claims adjuster. As well as writing novels, she also writes TV comedy drama. She is in her mid-thirties and lives just outside Dublin with her husband.
