Story
There's always time for a second chance.... At least that is what people say. But what if it's true? What if you could walk out the door and build a whole new you, a whole new life? Clare and Jack are about to find out. He's a middle-aged barrister, living life as he 'should'. She's a recently divorced dance teacher and mum to a teenage daughter. Change isn't easy for either of them. But it's not impossible. If they do something BIG, could the next half of their lives be the best half?

Story
The award-winning Claire North returns with her most powerful and imaginative novel yet - a spellbinding tale set in a future utopian society that is thrilling, moving and thought-provoking in equal measure. Once the world was on fire - but that was long ago. The Burning Age gave way to an era of peace, humanity finding harmony with nature and each other, as new cities rose from the ruins of the old. Ven used to be a holy man, a guardian of ancient archives. Sorting secrets from sacrilege, he studied the past so that we might never repeat it.

Even the longest marriages have their secrets...Jack Chalmers is a man of few words, married to a woman of many. He and Bet have been together for 70 years - almost a lifetime - and happily so, for the most part. All Jack and Bet want is to enjoy the time they have left together, in the flat they have tried to make their home. Their son Tommy has other ideas: he wants them to live somewhere with round-the-clock care, hot meals, activities. Bet thinks they can manage just fine.

Friends. You can't live with them - and you can't live without them. Or so Matt is discovering. His best mate is getting married, leaving him high and dry. No flat-mate - and no girlfriend. Then he remembers Helen (H to her friends). H has no life outside her brilliant career - and all her best friend Amy wants to talk about is her wedding. Which suits Stringer, because catering the wedding is his first real chance to prove himself. The last thing he needs is to fall for one of the bride's friends, Susie, particularly because she's sworn off men while she sorts out her life....

Summary
Every life is made up of thousands of moments. Moments that make us who we are. But what if those moments don't happen the way we think they should?
What if you got on the wrong bus, or didn't speak to the right person at a party, or stayed in the wrong guest house on holiday? Would you miss your chance at happiness? Or would happiness find you eventually, when the moment was right?
Meet Matthew and Myrtle. They were born a month apart and are meant to be together, but they do not know each other yet. We will travel with them on the moments of their lives - from their births to their deaths. We will see their triumphs and their tragedies, their paths taken or not, opportunities missed or leapt upon, hearts broken and mended.
Because true love is worth waiting for, but what if it takes a lifetime to appear?

Fabulous
It deserves a much higher rating than it has. Don’t read it if you don’t want to feel a bit sad. However I personally feel there is far more uplift than down
Myrtle & Mathew navigate through life and it’s trials in their own unique way but are extricably linked in the very soul of their being. Each time the author makes you think this is the time, it turns out not to be, until the time finally did come.
I loved the way this book was written I’ve not come across this, what I thought was different way of writing before.
I shall seek out other works by the author now. Also as I’m audible I just want to say this is one of my favourite narrators, he’s so good.

Dull
I kept waiting for a twist, a climax, whatever in the story; grew tired of waiting but out of stubbornness listened till the end. I’m sorry but this is such a dull, ordinary story of two people from birth till death. Only the narrator made it bearable to go on listening.

Beautiful
Passionately read, beautifully written. Two simple but extraordinary characters. The moments and people they meet throughout their lives tell a sometimes raw and emotional journey we all travel in life. Tears of sorrow and laughter were shed listening to The Moments.
