Sarah Butler

To celebrate the publication of the wonderful Ten Things I've Learnt About Love, we at Picador have compiled a list of ten things that ten different Picador books have taught us about that little word.

We're all very excited about the publication of Ten Things I've Learnt About Love here at Picador. It's a wonderful novel about Alice, who has just returned to London to hear the news that her father is dying, and Daniel, who hasn’t had a roof over his head for years. It's a story of  the city of London and love lost and found.

Listen to an extract and hear Sarah talking about her novel here.

Picador author Sarah Butler visited Mackays printers to see her debut novel Ten Things I've Learnt About Love make the journey from file to book.

Sarah Butler has been writer in residence on the Central Line, the Greenwich Peninsula, and at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Her first novel, Ten Things I've Learnt About Love, will be available in January! Here she is talking about her favourite books.

Alice has just returned to London from months of travelling abroad. She is late to hear the news that her father is dying, and arrives at the family home only just in time to say goodbye.

Daniel hasn’t had a roof over his head for years, but to him the city of London feels like home in a way that no bricks and mortar ever did. He spends every day searching for his daughter; the daughter he has never met. Until now . . .

Heart-wrenching and life-affirming, this is a unique story of love lost and found, of rootlessness and homecoming and the power of the ties that bind. It is a story for fathers and daughters everywhere.
