The Old Familiar Places is the debut novel from author Sam Emony which was inspired by a line in the song ‘ ‘I’ll be seeing you’.

Shy, bookish, Sonny Jackson attends a family funeral and, in that instant, transforms his future. From a student pianist to playing with legends, this is the tale of how one extraordinary meeting can change your life.

Ruby, the striking young widow, tears up the rule book and pushes Sonny to believe he can escape his semi-detached suburban hell in Manchester. Ruby pulls the strings, schemes with others, and manipulates Sonny as she sees fit. London’s calling and New York is on the horizon, but behind the fancy façade are dark secrets.

Hang on tight as the past catches up with the present.

The Old Familiar Places is a book that makes you feel. Drawing you into Sonny’s life from the first page. You laugh with him, you cry with him and you feel his failures and triumphs just as keenly as if you were living them. This is down to Sam’s superb writing and how it makes you connect with Sonny, which as a debut novel, makes this book so wonderful to read.
