<b>A beautiful, very special, love story about what can happen when life gets in the way. </b>About how love can endure the impossible. About how some people are meant to be. Saskia Sarginson is such a talented writer. Her characters are so human with their shortcomings and virtues, they could be us - they are us. And thus, their moments of grace are ours. <b>I loved this book.</b>
- Cecilia Ekbäck,
<b>A poignant and heart-wrenching love story, tender and suspenseful and exquisitely written. </b>The characters are painted with such compassion and sympathy: we enter into their longing, into their passionate and aching worlds, willing the story to end well for them, not wanting it to end, but to go on forever. <b>This is one of the best love stories written, engrossing and utterly immersive. Saskia Sarginson never disappoints.</b>
- Mary Chamberlain,
Saskia Sarginson is a gifted and versatile writer. She can turn her hand to just about any genre - be it thriller, historical or literary. This is the fourth novel of hers that I have read and for me, it's right up there with her best work. <b><i>The Bench</i> feels like a book that the world really needs right now. Packed full of surprises and kindness, I certainly fell head over heels in love with it.</b>
- Fiona Mitchell,
<b>A beautiful romance </b>with likeable characters you invest in wholeheartedly . . . <b>an intriguing, thought-provoking, uplifting tale of love, loss, deceit, and destiny</b>

Perfect for fans of ONE DAY and ME BEFORE YOU, this is a heartbreaking love story spanning three decades that starts and ends on a bench, by the Richard & Judy Book Club bestselling author.
__________________________________________
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?
