How to Save a Life

In Eva Carter's How to Save a Life, saving a life is only the start of the story . . . 'A sweeping, brave, epic love story. I was hooked from the very first page' - Josie Silver, author of One Day in December
'I couldn't put it down until I reached the final page' - Beth O'Leary, author of The Flatshare
It's nearly midnight on the eve of the millennium when eighteen-year-old Joel's heart stops. A school friend, Kerry, performs CPR for almost twenty exhausting minutes, ultimately saving Joel's life, while her best friend Tim freezes, unable to help.
That moment of life and death changes the course of all three lives over the next two decades: each time Kerry, Joel and Tim believe they've found love, discovered their vocation, or simply moved on, their lives collide again. . . . Because bravery isn't just about life or death decisions; it's also about how to keep on living afterwards.

Eva Carter was inspired to write How to Save A Life by her own experience of giving CPR to her partner, who was successfully resuscitated, as well as her mother's stories of work as a trauma nurse. Eva worked as a BBC reporter before becoming an author and lives in Brighton. She loves watching 24 Hours in A&E, walking her dog and running very slowly on the seafront.
