Now, with The Night Bookmobile, she has written her first graphic novel. First serialised in the Guardian, The Night Bookmobile tells the story of a young woman who one night encounters a mysterious disappearing mobile library that happens to stock every book she has ever read.

The twins hope that in London their own, separate, lives can finally begin but they have no idea that they've been summoned into a tangle of fraying lives, from the obsessive-compulsive crossword setter who lives above them to their aunt's mysterious and elusive lover who lives below them and works in the cemetery itself.

From the author of the #1 bestselling The Time Traveler's Wife, a spectacularly compelling novel--set in and near Highgate Cemetery in London, about the love between twins, men and women, ghosts and the living. Julia and Valentina Poole are twenty-year-old sisters with an intense attachment to each other. One morning the mailman delivers a thick envelope to their house in the suburbs of Chicago. Their English aunt Elspeth Noblin has died of cancer and left them her London apartment. There are two conditions for this inheritance: that they live in the flat for a year before they sell it and that their parents not enter it. Julia and Valentina are twins. So were the girls' aunt Elspeth and their mother, Edie. The girls move to Elspeth's flat, which borders the vast Highgate Cemetery, where Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Stella Gibbons, and other luminaries are buried. Julia and Valentina become involved with their living neighbors: Martin, a composer of crossword puzzles who suffers from crippling OCD, and Robert, Elspeth's elusive lover, a scholar of the cemetery. They also discover that much is still alive in Highgate, including--perhaps--their aunt.

"Die Frau des Zeitreisenden" - seit mehreren Wochen auf den Bestsellelisten. Selten wurde so aufwühlend, so anders und neu über die Liebe geschrieben. Clare ist Kunststudentin und eine Botticelli-Schönheit, Henry ein verwegener und lebenshungriger Bibliothekar. Clare fällt aus allen Himmeln, jedes Mal aufs Neue, wenn Henry vor ihr steht. Denn Henry ist ein Zeitreisender, ohne jede Ankündigung verstellt sich seine innere Uhr. Plötzlich und unerwartet stürzt er los, nie ist sicher, aus welcher Zeit er kommt und in welcher Zeit er bei Clare landet, aber immer ist sicher, dass er wieder bei ihr landet. Als sie sich das erste Mal begegnen, ist Clare sechs und Henry 36, aber in Wahrheit ist Henry nur acht Jahre älter als sie und schon lange mit ihr verheiratet. Absurdes wird zur Normalität. Seine Zeitreisen sind das brennende Geheimnis, das Henry und Clare mit jeder Trennung noch inniger vereint. "Die Geschichte von Henry und Clare ist eine berührend erzählte Liebesgeschichte, die allen Menschen, die von der bedingungslosen großen Liebe träumen, das Herz erwärmen wird." HR

This is the extraordinary love story of Clare and Henry who met when Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. In the face of this force they can neither prevent nor control, Henry and Clare's struggle to lead normal lives is both intensely moving and entirely unforgettable.
