About the Book

Book Synopsis

Sweeping from the rural coast of Ireland to the glamour of 1960s London, Losing You is a spellbinding story of love and loss from the internationally bestselling author of The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley. Discover this reimagined novel from an author loved by millions of readers worldwide.

She knew she'd love him for the rest of her life. Whatever the cost . . .

All Sorcha O'Donovan knows is life in her small windswept village on the rugged West Cork coastline. When she falls head over heels for handsome local musician Con Daly and he asks her to run away with him, Sorcha knows she has to follow her heart.

Penniless in London, the young lovers soon realize you can't live on dreams alone. But then Con finally gets his big break, and their lives change beyond all recognition. Suddenly the future looks bright.

But as fame and fortune begins to take its toll, Con and Sorcha must try to hold on to who they truly are, or risk losing what matters most . . .

Long before she became the bestselling author of The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley wrote Losing You as Lucinda Edmonds. This lost treasure has now been reworked and given new life by Harry Whittaker, Lucinda's son and co-author of Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt.

About the Author

Lucinda Riley was born in Ireland and, after an early career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her first novel aged twenty-four. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and The Seven Sisters series specifically has become a global phenomenon, creating its own genre.

In 2020, Lucinda received the Dutch Platinum Award for sales of over 300,000 copies for a single novel in one year - an award last won by J. K. Rowling for Harry Potter. In collaboration with her son Harry Whittaker, she also devised and wrote the Guardian Angels series of books for children.

Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk, England, she fulfilled her dream in 2015 of buying a remote farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her spiritual home, and this was where her last five books were written.

Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died on 11 June 2021, surrounded by her family.
