Trade Review
Quirky, clever, and original, this will break your heart, but put it back together again. -- Katie Fforde
A quirky, poignant book about love and family which I found myself racing through. -- Libby Page
This is a very special book indeed: funny, powerful, heart-wrenching and so poignant. I have laughed and cried and cried . . . and it reminded me to hold my family close and tell each of them how much I love them
The Songs of Us is an emotional rollercoaster of a book that made me laugh and cry in equal measures. A tragically beautiful story of love and loss, family and hope. Emma Cooper has been swiftly added to my list of authors to read.
[A] sweet, moving debut * Good Housekeeping *
Poignant and beautifully written * Woman *
A warm and touching novel about love and loss, and the healing power of family * Woman & Home *
Full of love, humour and heart, Emma's books will stay with you for a long time. Magical!
