We Have Forever

A razor-sharp and achingly romantic love story set over two decades between Northumberland and London from Sarah Handyside, author of Instructions for Heartbreak.

Two decades. One love story that’s just getting started .

When Emmy, a cynical student working at Northumberland’s Barter Books, meets Seb, a dreamer born into privilege, she expects him to be nothing more than a passing stranger.

But everything changes when Emmy discovers a bundle of forgotten love letters tucked inside one of his donations. Returning them to Seb sparks a shared obsession that leaves the pair at odds. While Seb finds validation for his worldview, Emmy sees a depth of feeling she has never known, leaving them to wonder: how should falling in love be?

Spanning eighteen years of being pulled between the rugged Northumberland coast and the frantic pulse of London, through political unrest, personal tragedy and the relentless motion of adulthood, Emmy and Seb share almost-everythings and maybe-somethings.

As the world changes around them, can they finally pause long enough to begin a love story of their own?

We Have Forever is an aching, unforgettable novel of love, the aspiration of youth and the yearning for clarity in a world that never stops. Perfect for fans of One Day and Talking at Night.
