About this listen

 'A beautifully written love story that travels beyond epic' ANSTEY HARRIS, author of THE HOUSE OF LOST SECRETS 'A cosmically thwarted romance' DAILY MAIL From the critically acclaimed author of THE RULES OF SEEING and WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS

For Mika and Jem, love is love; wherever, whenever and whoever they are…

When they meet by chance, perfect strangers, they recognise each other – not from life, but from a shared dream.

Both are wary of forming new connections, but as their dreams – or are they memories? – grow in intensity, they are forced to consider the possibility that they have known and loved each other over and over, across the centuries.

Will they find happiness together this time?

LIFE NUMBER NINE is an extraordinary literary achievement and a groundbreaking love story.

Critic Reviews

A beautifully written love story, that travels beyond epic … This is the kind of book where you read a line and think, that's one of the best lines I've ever read. But then so's the next one, and the next. The energy of the writing is off the scale.

(Anstey Harris)

An emotional rollercoaster

A real heart-warmer
