Another Life: The stunning love story and BBC2 Between the Covers pick

‘A modern day Atonement meets David Nicholls’ - Emma Gannon. Discover the stunning debut about hope, sacrifice, and the ties that forever bind us

Nick and Anna work the same summer job at their local cinema, but Anna is from a very different world to Nick. She’s grown up preparing for the End of Days, in a tightly-controlled existence where Christmas, getting drunk and sex before marriage are all off limits.

When Nick comes into her life, Anna falls passionately in love.

But on the cusp of adulthood, Anna is afraid to give up everything she’s ever believed in, and everyone she’s ever loved. She walks away - and Nick doesn’t stop her.

Years later, a tragedy draws Anna back into Nick’s life. But will it bring them together, or drive them further apart?
