Luan Goldie, who was longlisted for the Women’s Prize in 2020 for her debut novel—Nightingale Point, attended the launch of HarperCollins’ new literary imprint, Juniper on Tuesday 30th September.

Alongside four other authors on the Juniper list, Luan spoke about her upcoming novel, Between Yesterday and Tomorrow:

“Goldie discussed with Louise the different kinds of love one can have, grief and loss, and self-discovery.”

Zoe’s world has never been quite the same after a heart-breaking loss and, after a month off work, she returns to everyone tiptoeing around her. She knows she’ll never be the same carefree party girl she was before, even as she tries to hold on to what she’s lost.

Then she meets Cian – her disarmingly charming colleague, who’s working from home after a climbing accident left him temporarily immobile. As they spend the summer hiding from the heatwave, arguing about Studio Ghibli, and sharing moments of vulnerability, their cautious friendship grows into something deeper. But with Cian grappling with his own restless spirit, and Zoe continuing to keep everyone at arm’s length, there are a hundred reasons for them to hit the brakes.

Zoe has a choice to make – will she retreat into her shell and cling to the safety of what she knows, or take a leap of faith and risk it all?

Between Yesterday and Tomorrow is a story of courage and connection, and examines the messy, beautiful ways we rebuild our lives when everything feels broken. It finds the humour in the darkest moments and reminds readers of the quiet ways to love and to hope.

Between Yesterday and Tomorrow is out Summer 2026. Pre-order your copy here or, better, via your local bookshop and Bookshop.org.
