Very different, a shared dream that unites two very different people. Theirs is an emotional journey across continents which asks the question of how do our lives connect.

When perfect strangers Mika and Jem first meet by chance, they recognise each other – not from life, but from a shared dream. Both are wary of forming new connections and have their demons to fight: Jem is in recovery from a near-fatal accident, and Mika is undocumented and under scrutiny from the authorities.
As their dreams – or are they memories? – grow in intensity, they are forced to consider the possibility that they have known and loved each other over and over, across the centuries. Will they find happiness together this time?
Moving from present-day London through eras and across continents, LIFE NUMBER NINE is an epic literary achievement and a groundbreaking love story.
A very emotional story that will rip your heart.
I was so engrossed in the book where I was not aware until the story end.

This is such a beautiful novel and really unique in it's plot.

Sharing a dream not a memory is what the two main characters do... and because of this they fall in love.,

Mika and Jem both have their traumas which prevent them from forming meaningful realtionship but Oh my! ...

This dreamy tale will excite all readers. I absolutely adored travelling with them both and following their lives..

It's beautiful, lyrical and my book to end this year perfectly...
