When the Music Stops

‘The sheer definition of a page-turner’ Reader review ‘A truly original, bittersweet tale of life, loss and enduring love that had me completely hooked. A treasure of a book!’ Sunday Times bestseller, Ruth Hogan

‘Stunning, stunning, stunning’ Anstey Harris

This is the story of Ella. And Robert. And of all the things they should have said, but never did.

‘What have you been up to?’ I shrug, ‘Just existing, I guess.’ ‘Looks like more than just existing.’ Robert gestures at the baby, the lifeboat, the ocean. ‘All right, not existing. Surviving.’ He laughs, not unkindly. ‘Sounds grim.’ ‘It wasn’t so bad, really. But I wish you’d been there.’

Ella has known Robert all her life. Through seven key moments and seven key people their journey intertwines.

From the streets of Glasgow during WW2 to the sex, drugs and rock n’ roll of London in the 60s and beyond, this is a story of love and near misses. Of those who come in to our lives and leave it too soon. And of those who stay with you forever… Readers LOVE When the Music Stops! ‘Endearing and beautifully told’ Janet

‘I’m swiftly becoming a big fan of Joe Heap!’ Emily
