Summary
Richard and Judy and international best-selling author.
A tragic love story spanning three decades, The Bench is Saskia Sarginson's most accomplished and heart-rending novel to date. For fans of One Day and A Star Is Born.
'We should have a plaque too,' he says. 'What would it say?'
I tilt my head. 'For Cat and Sam, who found each other and lost each other and found each other again,' I suggest.
It begins at the end.
It begins on a bench, on a heath, where a woman waits for a man.
Ten years ago, they made a pact:
On this bench, on this day, they will end a love affair that's spanned three decades, or start again.
They should never have met. They should never have fallen in love.
But they did, until a lie separated them for a lifetime.
Can they fix the mistake, forgive the lie, erase the years in between?
Can what was lost ever truly be found?
Critic reviews
"With echoes of David Nicholls's One Day, this romance has just the right mix of heart-melting moments and heart-rending near misses." (Good Housekeeping)
"A wonderful, heart-tugging romance." (Prima)

Beautiful story...
But! you get to the end and it’s so rushed! We want to know what they did in the end not just a brief epilogue of something we’ve been desperate for through out the book! Would totally recommend it though I couldn’t stop listening.

Heartbreakingly beautiful
I absolutely loved this book - I couldn't wait to get to the end to find out what happened to Sam and Kat but at the same time I didn't want to finish it! I thought that Stephanie Cannon's narration was superb - she really brought the characters to life! Can't wait to listen to more by Saskia Sarginson and will be buying the book for my mum to read.
