Wildly original, funny and moving,The First Fifteen Lives of Harry Augustis an extraordinary story of a life lived again and again from World Fantasy Award-winning author Claire North.
Harry August is on his deathbed. Again.
No matter what he does or the decisions he makes, when death comes, Harry always returns to where he began, a child with all the knowledge of a life he has already lived a dozen times before. Nothing ever changes.
Until now.
As Harry nears the end of his eleventh life, a little girl appears at his bedside. I nearly missed you, Doctor August, she says. I need to send a message.
This is the story of what Harry does next, and what he did before, and how he tries to save a past he cannot change and a future he cannot allow.

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, in 2014. It was a critically acclaimed success, receiving rave reviews and an Audie nomination, and was included in the
Washington Post's Best Books of the Year list. Her most recent novel,
Touch, was also in the
Washington Post's Best Books of the Year, in 2015. I don't say this lightly but
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry Augustis one of the top ten books I've ever read.
