Silver's debut One Day In December was a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller - and The Two Lives of Lydia Bird already has fans falling head-over-heels in love. 'And it's the same with families, as well. You know, I'm really fortunate, really strong family around me, and I tend to put that in the book - not the actual people themselves, but just that, that support and that love.' I didn't have to look very far for that, it was very much informed by my own relationship with my sister,' she said, noting how she loved writing the siblings as they were 'just two peas in a pod.' I'm fortunate to have an older sister, she's 18-months-older than me - and she's my best friend. 'Probably the sister relationship, I would say the most. It will have readers laughing out loud on one page, and tug at the heartstrings on the next.Īnd, as it turns out, it's one that was inspired - in part - by a relationship in the author's real life.

It’s a book about the post-college years, when life hands you unexpected challenges, and tough decisions have to be made about relationships, careers, friendships, and family. While billed as a love story, I found One Day in December to be a charming coming-of-age story at its heart. Guess who he turns out to be? The ensuing story follows Laurie, Sarah, and Jack over 10 years as they navigate life, love, and all their highs and lows. But after a year of searching, she’s had no luck finding him … until she is introduced to her best friend Sarah's new boyfriend, Jack. When Laurie spots a handsome guy through a bus window in London, their eyes meet, and she falls in love at first sight.

With conversational ease, Eleanor Tomlinson and Charlie Anson.

The story starts with a love-at-first-sight missed connection at a London bus stop and evolves into a breathlessly hopeful search that always seems to teeter on the brink of utter tragedy. What happens when a hardcore mystery/thriller fan who shies away from romance in film, television, books, and even real life takes a chance on a romance novel? Spoiler alert: I loved it. Josie Silver’s debut novel breathes a touch of magic into the 21st-century romantic comedy.
