Since November 2009Book News: I Remember You by Harriet Evans
June 5th, 2009 by LeahThe cover has been released for Harriet Evans’ new novel I Remember You which is due out 29th October. The synopsis reads:
Tess Tennant is moving away from London to the sleepy picture-perfect town where she grew up, to teach at the illustrious Langford College. She finds a cottage to share with a burnt-out city lawyer called Francesca. Around the corner is her childhood best friend Adam, who she’s always loved like a brother ! Rural life isn’t quite how Tess remembers it.
Bored, she returns to London for a big night out with Adam but it all ends in tears. Heartbroken and heartsick,Tess has to take her class on a trip to Rome to visit the classical monuments, and she’s in the mood to be reckless. Rome in May is beautiful, filled with the scent of jasmine and warm sunshine, and soon Tess is being swept off her feet by a charming stranger who takes her round the city for a magical week and she soon forgets the complicated problems waiting for her at home.
But when she does return to Langford,Tess finds a note from Adam saying he’s leaving for a while. What happened between them when they were young? And what is the secret of his mysterious past?
It sounds quite an interesting read and the cover is beautiful. I love the postcard effect of the cover.

Ooh, its so pretty!
Personally, I don’t find the synopsis terribly exciting, but the cover is absolutely gorgeous!!!
It pains me to admit that I haven’t read any Harriet Evans yet … *bows head in shame* I bought a copy of The Love of My Life and I’m looking forward to reading it in the next few months (hopefully).
I read “Coming Home” ageees ago. But haven’t read the other two. Will have to get hold of one. The cover is gorgeous!
The last line gives me a sinking feeling to be honest. I *do* hope Evans doesn’t go down the ‘inserting multiple flashbacks to the past’ thing again. The bit that said that Tess and Adam were good childhood friends and something has happened to them in the past, makes me think that she might be. It’s a shame. Evans can be a good writer when she strikes lucky - see ‘A Hopeless Romantic’, but her last book…..ugh.
PS I meant the last line of the synopsis in italics, not the last line of your review! lol!
