Always With You: A heart-warming story of love, loss & friendship Kindle Edition

by Hannah Ellis (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 2,436 ratings
Finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2017

Love and loss in the Australian Outback…

Twenty-one-year-old Libby Taylor needs a change of scene. Struggling to deal with the death of her mother, she becomes fixated on an old photo album. In particular, pictures of the man she believes to be her father.

Unable to ignore the niggling questions any longer, she sets off to Australia in search of answers.

Soon, she’s travelling the same route her mum travelled more than twenty years earlier. As she relaxes into the lively backpacker scene, thoughts of finding her father begin to fade. Maybe all she needed was a break from reality.

She never expected to have such an amazing time.

She also didn’t expect to find love.

But when her path crosses repeatedly with the lovely Andrew, sparks begin to fly. With his encouragement, she decides to continue the search for her father. Finally, in a dusty outback town, she discovers the familiar faces from the photographs. As the past begins to unfold, Libby learns the heartbreaking truth about her father, and the secret her mum kept for more than twenty years.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The author has excelled herself with this book. Its a fantastic read that transported me to a place I'd never been and up until now had never had any desire to go. Her descriptive details was both captivating and beautiful as was her writing style. A cleverly written and engaging book that is one of my highly recommended reads. A beautiful story of love, secrets and a desire to belong." - JB Johnston @ Brook Cottage Books "Ellis has a great way of describing things, of painting a picture. The hotel, the lake, the Croc - I feel like I have been to them all, or at least watched the film adaptation of this book; that is how good Ellis is at writing a narrative." - Joy Corkery @ Joyful Antidotes"Always with You is a compelling and clever novel from Hannah Ellis. She beautifully intertwines stories of love, friendship and family across two generations... If only I could give it more than five stars." - Sarah-Jane Fraser, author of The Spanish Indecision"What I really enjoyed was the skilled descriptive writing and how the author puts you right there in the moment. You can picture Kununurra and you are a part of the story. The characters are real, with flaws, and very likeable." - Tracey Rogers, author of Daring to Wish"This is a gentle story of family secrets and of 'finding yourself'. A tale to warm your heart on a chilly winter's day... The writer has clearly travelled through Australia herself as the descriptions and events are very evocative, with a host of interesting characters and observations. As with any good story, there's a twist at the end which catches you by surprise... If you want to be reminded of sunshine and the joy of holidaying in a country far from you own, where you can be whoever you want, then you'll enjoy Always with You." - Gwyn GB, author of Lonely Hearts
"A beautiful novel that took me on a wonderful journey..." - Book Reviews For U
"It is well written and cleverly constructed to keep readers turning those pages." - Jo Lambert @ Brook Cottage Books

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is my first Hannah Ellis book, but it will not be my last!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017

    This is the story of a mother and a daughter and the daughter's quest to find her father. Evelyn Taylor went on backpacking to Australia in 1994. She came back to England with a lot more than when she left. Evelyn raised Libby by herself with help from her friends. Twenty years later, Evelyn is dying, and for the first time, she tells Libby about her trip to Australia. Libby decides to take her own backpacking trip to Australia to see if she can find any clues about her father.

    Always With You was very well-written story, alternating between Evelyn and Libby's experiences in Australia.
    The characters were very likeable. They were well developed. It was a lovely story that I was not able to put down. I also learned a lot about Australia. I would definitely recommend Always With You to my reading friends!

    I was given an Advance Reading Copy for an honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet story with an emotional twist, but . . .
    Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    A sweet story with a surprisingly emotional twist to the ending, which was satisfying. However, much of the book seemed more like a travelogue of backpacking in Australia than a novel. I also got tired of the continual beer drinking and partying, especially in a book that is otherwise "clean and wholesome" (no explicit sex or profanity). Good read otherwise!

    Another great read from Ellis. This book looks at both the the pain of loss with all of the exhilaration of backpacking in a new place and self discovery it can bring. This book beautifully balances loss, intrigue and lighthearted romance together. Again, Ellis created great characters for us to fall in love with and some strong willed, witty females to get behind.

    This book was okay, but there was far too much partying and drinking going on and not much focus on the actual storyline for my liking.

    I usually read crime fiction, forensics, serial killers etc. This latest novel from Hannah Ellis has reminded me how good it is to read a wonderful heart warming, well written piece of fiction about life, love and heartbreak! I thoroughly enjoyed her vivid description of the Austrailian outback. I could feel the sweltering heat and taste the cold beer. The inexpected ending pleased me no end. Keep on writing Hannah Ellis!

    This book broke me. I laughed. I cried. I fell for Joe right along side Evelyn. My heart was on a roller coaster, right along with Libby, on her journey. The end had me bawling like a baby as I read the last chapter.

    This is a heart wrenching story of a daughter who never knew who her father was until her mother died and she went in search of him in Australia. The story goes between the mother's adventures as a young person and the daughters travels to find out the story and what she finds out along the way. The characters are great and for me is one that I could not put down to find out who her father was and the joy of her meeting a special person along the way. Great story andI didn't want it to end and would highly recommend everyone to read it.
