Two women, twenty years of secrets and a man who can't remember lie at the heart of Lisa Jewell's brilliant new novel.
LISA JEWELL was born in London in 1968.
Her first novel, Ralph's Party, was the best- selling debut novel
of 1999. Since then she has written another eighteen novels, most
recently a number of dark psychological thrillers, including The
Girls, Then She Was Gone and The Family Upstairs (all of which were
Richard & Judy Book Club picks).
Lisa is a New York Times and Sunday Times number one bestselling
author who has been published worldwide in over twenty-five
languages. She lives in north London with her husband, two teenage
daughters, one cat, one guinea pig and the best dog in the world.
Fresh and intriguing, with characters so real I ached for them. I
loved I Found You
*Clare Mackintosh*
I’ve never read a book by Lisa that I didn’t love. In this case, I
ended up reading the whole thing in a day which is always a
pleasure, and makes you feel as if you’ve had a little holiday from
your own life.
*Jojo Moyes*
I LOVED I Found You. A proper thriller with wonderful
characters.

Lisa Jewell just keeps getting better. I thought nothing could top
The Girls, then along came I Found You. Three separate strands,
three very different characters with one dark mystery at its core.
With another writer, I would be trying to solve the mystery by
chapter two, but Lisa’s books are so deliciously immersive, like a
warm scented bath, you don’t want to jump ahead to find out what
happened, preferring to lie back and let the story wash over you.
The plot of I Found You is gripping and compelling but, as always
with Lisa. it’s the characters that drive the book. With the
possible exception of Anne Tyler, I can’t think of another writer
who so gets to the heart of what it is to be human, in all
humanity’s flawed decency. I Found You is a wise, compassionate,
gripping tale by a storyteller who totally gets people - acting
well and acting badly, but mostly muddling through trying our
best.
*Tamar Cohen*
I Found You is exciting, entertaining and a crackingly good read …
Lisa Jewell knows exactly how to drip feed information that compels
the reader to want to read more and more and I found myself unable
to put the book down … A perfect read. This is the first time I’ve
read one of [Lisa’s] books but it certainly won’t be the last.
