Distance Between Us

The Distance Between Us by Maggie O’Farrell, award-winning author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait, is a gripping and insightful novel about the invisible ties that shape our lives. This haunting story follows Stella, who, on a cold February afternoon, sees a man from her past—or so she thinks. At the same time, across the world, Jake finds himself in the midst of a dangerous situation during a Chinese New Year celebration.

Though they are strangers, both are compelled to flee—Jake to a place so remote it’s not on any map, and Stella to Scotland, a destination only her sister, Nina, will understand. A mesmerizing tale of family, fate, and escape, The Distance Between Us is a must-read for fans of literary fiction, psychological drama, and suspenseful storytelling.
