We Own the Sky

Hardcover: 368 pages
Publisher: Park Row (April 3, 2018)

A triumphant story about love, loss and finding hope—against all odds

“We looked down at the cliff jutting into the sea, a rubber boat full of kids going under the arch, and then you started running and jumping through the grass, dodging the rabbit holes, shouting at the top of your voice, so I started chasing you, trying to catch you, and we were laughing so hard as we ran and ran, kicking up rainbow showers in the leaves.”

Rob Coates feels like he’s won the lottery of life. There is Anna, his incredible wife, their London town house and, most precious of all, Jack, their son, who makes every day an extraordinary adventure. But when a devastating illness befalls his family, Rob’s world begins to unravel. Suddenly finding himself alone, Rob seeks solace in photographing the skyscrapers and clifftops he and his son Jack used to visit. And just when it seems that all hope is lost, Rob embarks on the most unforgettable of journeys to find his way back to life, and forgiveness.

We Own the Sky is a tender, heartrending, but ultimately life-affirming novel that will resonate deeply with anyone who has suffered loss or experienced great love. With stunning eloquence and acumen, Luke Allnutt has penned a soaring debut and a true testament to the power of love, showing how even the most thoroughly broken heart can learn to beat again.

“A breathtaking read that describes perfectly the joy and pain that comes with loving fully and all the compassion and forgiveness it requires. Brimming with hope to the very end.” —Steven Rowley, bestselling author of Lily and the Octopus

“Anyone who wishes David Nicholls would write faster needs to grab this with both hands. It’s a truly stunning achievement.” —Jill Mansell, Meet Me at Beachcomber Bay

Mama Says:

We Own the Sky is stunning and absolutely soul crushing.  Rob Coates, the main character and narrator of our journey, takes hit after hit, and we’re with him through every emotional trauma. There were moments of such tenderness, you could nearly feel the love pouring off the pages.  Some aspects were not only hard to read, but rather moving, and there was such a feeling of depth and humanity, it could be difficult to turn the page (or continue listening as the case may be, because the audio is absolutely astounding and wonderful too.)
This is not an easy read, but it’s a profound one, and I highly recommend this to all my adult readers!

4.5 stars and my sincere thanks to TLC Book tours and Park Row~ AK
