Description
Set in the mid-1960s, A New Map of Love is a life-affirming novel about second chances at love.
George Baxter has settled for a comfortable life, content as the years unfold predictably—until Win, his wife of twenty-six years, passes away.
With his loyal dog Monty by his side, George throws himself into his work as an antiques dealer. His business is at the heart of the village and all sorts pass through the doors, each person in search of their own little piece of history.
When George meets local widow Sylvia Newsome, he imagines a different kind of future. But life has more revelations to offer him. Over the course of the summer, George uncovers some unexpected mysteries from his past, which could shape his tomorrows...

Advance Praise
"Abi Oliver's warm, wise and wonderfully whimsical debut novel is a moving and tender celebration of life, death, hope and new horizons." —Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Post
"George is a delight to be with: his essential decency and frustrated longings both funny and poignant. There's a strong supporting cast too - mostly in the shape of those baffling women." —James Walton, Readers Digest
