After a suicide attempt shatters his life, Brian O'Malley retreats to a small town in south-west England with no plan beyond getting through the days.

Once a promising musician, Brian is now living among the wreckage of everything he thought he wanted: a career slipping away, a relationship he's lost, and the unresolved grief of losing his father when he was a child.

What Brian wants is solitude. What he finds instead are unexpected housemates, surprise romantic connections, and Geoff: an eccentric local mobile DJ who first brings chaos into his life, then becomes one of the few people he can rely on.

As the days pass, Brian finds himself pulled into new friendships, uneasy routines, and the messy business of being needed by other people. Recovery comes in fits and starts: awkward, funny, frustrating, and deeply human.

Perfect for fans of Rachel Joyce, Fredrik Backman, and Gail Honeyman, Where I've Not Been Lost is a darkly funny, tender novel about grief, friendship, and learning how to live again.

Praise from readers:
