Kate now lives on the south coast of England, but spends as much time as she can in Italy, a country she loves. After many readers asked me what happened to Tess and Gus, I decided to explore whether it would really be possible for characters with such different backgrounds and challenges to live happily ever after. Anna Karenina comes to mind - but this is an easier read and a kinder, warmer, more optimistic portrayal of life and humanity.

I am thrilled to announce that my new novel EVER AFTER will be published in the UK in July 2023 by Orion Books. Cleverly using the construct of the fairytale Eberlen has written a novel of epic proportions which asks whether even the purest love can survive real life challenges such as family obligations, social differences, financial pressures and mental and physical illness.

You know it’s a good novel when you have to immediately flick back to the beginning to reread some bits to help you process the ending, which is exactly what I had to do!

Strictly Come Dancing is back on our screens, which means weekends full of sequins, glitterballs and a little cha cha cha. Lucas is also handling translation and screen rights and US rights are being handled by Jessica Purdue at Orion Books. Despite all that goes wrong - illness and family issues, it is obvious there is a deep love between the two main characters - Tess and Gus and that fate brought them together. In ‘Ever After’ by Kate Eberlen, readers are introduced to Gus and Tess, and a romance that intertwines throughout both of their lives, spanning years, toing and froing the both of them, almost as though the universe is undecided about where they will end up, and if they will end up together. When my mother used to read me fairy tales, I think I always focused on the ‘ever after’ instead of the ‘happily’.I loved the complex family relationships which Kate explores so well, as well as loss and mental illness.

Infused with romance, warmth and depth, ‘Ever After’ is a sensitive and moving tale, of what it means to take a chance, to throw caution to the wind, and to make the most of the time we have here. But alas, here I am, having worked up the courage to do just that, and hoping that I make some sort of sense while doing so. This is something that I am always drawn to in romantic fiction and something I will never tire of reading about. I was not expecting this book to be so deep and interesting so I was pleasantly surprised and impressed at how well the author dealt with complicated relationship dynamics. Or would two people whose lives had failed to connect for many years, keep on just missing each other even when they were together?p>Read about how we’ll protect and use your data in our Privacy Notice.
