Description: Would you choose a different life if you had the chance?
Two people. One chance to turn back the clock.
On the last night in October 1999 the clocks went back, and Ella and Will’s love began.
A teenage Ella sat around a bonfire drinking with her future husband and her oldest friend Cole.
As Ella wandered away from the group, she found herself leaning against a derelict archway before passing out.
The next day, Ella remembered fractured images of a conversation with a woman in a green coat and red scarf but dismissed it as a drunken dream.
Twenty-three years later, with her marriage to Will in trouble, and Cole spiralling out of control, Ella opens a gift which turns her life upside down: a green coat and red scarf.
When she looks in the mirror, the woman from the archway is reflected back at her.
As the last Sunday in October arrives, Ella is faced with a choice. Would she choose a different life, if she could do it again?

Why We Liked It
We have loved Emma’s writing since we first read her brilliant debut novel The Songs of Us.
Emma is one of those very special writers who completely entrance you, when everything stops and you just have to keep reading, yet at the same time, you don’t want the experience to end.
It Was Always You is another exquisite example of Emma’s writing, achingly tender, romantic, heart-wrenching, and utterly memorable, this beautiful book will stay with you long after you finish reading it!
We absolutely adored it! Highly recommended!
One of our Favourite Fiction books of 2022!
