Frequently asked questions
What is The Space Between Us about?
It is a quiet, wry and tender family drama set on the Portuguese coast. Adam Benali mends boats; when his wife Elise tells him she needs them to separate, he has to learn what it means to stay a father when the family has two homes.
What order should I read the books in?
Start with Books 1, 2 and 3, in order. After Book 3, continue with the companion novels: Book 4 (Elise's perspective) and Book 5 (Adam's perspective).
