Why a Booktrail?
2000s: What happens to a story when it ends too soon?
How I Lose You
What you need to know before your trail
When Eva and Adam fall into bed one Friday night, tired and happy after drinks with friends, they have their whole lives ahead of them. But then their story ends.
How I Lose You is a love story told backwards – the story of Eva and Adam, which is warmer and funnier and more beautiful because we know it is going to be interrupted. It’s a story Eva thought she knew – but as she will discover, it’s not just the ending of the story that she got wrong.
Travel Guide
BookTrail Travel to London
The story starts in London where Eve and Adam have a flat. She feels the buzz of the city:
“She has a flat in the thrumming centre of London. Her life is beginning; it has begun. The streets are in full nocturnal swing…”
BookTrail Travel to New York
The city never sleeps and provides both excitement and fear at the same time. They visit the Federal Reserve:
“..down, down down into the vault to catch a glimpse of gold, lines and lines and stacks and stacks so heavy they had to dig right to the very bedrock of Manhattan Island to lay the stuff to rest”
Some of the city opens up its secrets in a good way but then they are there when 9/11 happens and it’s life changing in so many ways.
BookTrail Travel to Germany – Berlin
Berlin has a significant part of the story which unfolds from the horrors of the Nazi era to building up a clearer picture of the past.
