ALT My brand new book, And Then There Was You, resting on a music rest on a piano with sheet music behind it. The cover shows a man sitting at a painted piano with a woman leaning against it, listening to him play. Strings of white lights loop above with two seagulls flying. The tagline reads: “Two lonely people. One song to change their lives.”
ALT A review of And Then There Was You by Nina Pottell in Prima Magazine reads: “If you need a glorious, uplifting read, this is for you! After her divorce, Merryn has found happiness running her cafe in St Ives with a community of people around her. Zach feels lost after an injury causes him to abandon his surfing career. Will an abandoned piano that Merryn finds and puts in the courtyard of her cafe bring the two of them together? I adored this story.”
ALT A list of five-star reader reviews for And Then There Was You, read: “'A particular joy ... I was totally enchanted'. ‘Something special... heartwarming and refreshing'. 'This is Miranda at her best'. ‘I really enjoyed the slow burn romance between Zach and Merryn'. ‘What a moving story.’ ‘Miranda Dickinson is one of my favourite authors, she never disappoints.’ ‘So vivid!
