Emma recommends... One Yellow Eye - Leigh Radford

Emma says... Emily Henry x John Wyndham! A beautiful love story - but of a woman who just cannot let go of her zombie husband and so has him restrained and sedated in the spare room while she works in the team trying to find a cure for the virus that devastated London. Tender with the edge of a thriller, made me laugh and cry, both page-turning and poignant - a rare book that has something to say to all of us about love and grief while also being a flipping good story.

Kesta’s husband Tim was the last person to be bitten in a zombie pandemic. The country is now in a period of respite, the government seemingly having rounded up and disposed of all the infected. But Kesta has a secret...

Tim may have been bitten, but he’s not quite dead yet. In fact, he’s tied to a bed in her spare room. And she’s made him a promise: find a cure, bring him back. A scientist by day, Kesta juggles intensive work under the microscope alongside Tim’s care, slipping him stolen drugs to keep him docile, knowing she is hiding the only zombie left. But Kesta is running out of drugs – and time.

Can she save her husband before he is discovered? Or worse... will they trigger another outbreak?
