WINNER OF THE ROMANTIC NOVELISTS' ASSOCIATION CONTEMPORARY ROMANTIC NOVEL AWARD, 2015.

As heart wrenching and life-affirming as One Day or Me Before You, A HUNDRED PIECES OF ME is a story about what it means to finally live life to the full.

Letters from the only man she's ever truly loved.
A keepsake of the father she never really knew.
A blue glass vase that catches the light on a grey day.

Gina Bellamy is starting again, after a few years she'd rather forget. But the belongings she's treasured for so long don't seem to fit who she is now.

So Gina makes a resolution. She'll keep just a hundred special items - the rest can go.
But that means coming to terms with her past and learning to embrace the future, whatever it might bring . . .

'Bittersweet, lovely and ultimately redemptive; the kind of book that makes you want to live your own life better.' Jojo Moyes

'Such a brilliant book. So satisfying and clever and deeply moving. I'll be passing it on to all my friends.' Sophie Kinsella

'This vibrant and uplifting novel has not only entertained me hugely, but made me change the way I look at life.' Katie Fforde

New to the author and I absolutely loved the book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought the paperback version as a present as the summary on the back sounded just the kind of book for the person it was intended for. However, it intrigued me enough to treat myself to the audible version. Really glad I did as I absolutely loved it! This is from someone who normally prefers a dark crime novel.
I've never come across Lucy Dillon before but after this book I am going to start at the beginning of her novels.
This particular story will I'm sure strike a chord with anyone going through a period of significant change in their life, it a mixture of gentle humour, soul searching, love, loss and the healing power of dogs! I even had a tear or two by the final chapters.
Give it a go, curl up with a cuppa and indulge when you can make the time. Fantastic.

A Hundred Pieces of Me - Lucy Dillon - Hard Look at Your Life

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 October 2015

Verified Purchase

Gina hits a sad time in her life and is forced to take a deep breath and look deep into what she has. At that time I was literally crying myself, going through various tests myself so could understand some of how she felt at times when forced to look at what you have. One of those reads of should I read it and get weepy of leave alone. Rest assured though know that previous reads by Lucy Dillon have had me not wanting to put them down and this one pretty much the same. Yes tears and mixed emotions but also love and understanding, just a great read.

From this though she makes discoveries that without would never know just what good points there are in her life.
A read that yes at times had me crying but other times feeling as though Gina had then found the things that mattered to her and her life. All about seeing what you have already but sometimes harder for you when looking in on it yourself, it does make you think though.

Interesting concept - could have been better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 January 2015

Verified Purchase

Gina Bellamy has just moved house, is going through a divorce and 5 years ago was treated for breast cancer. When she moves she discovers she has a lot of stuff, far too much for her new apartment. And so she sets out deciding that she will just keep the 100 things that mean the most to her, and sell/throw/give away to charity the rest of her belongings.

This act of de-cluttering has a lot of unexpected consequences.

A Hundred Pieces of Me is written in a way that you get the back story to Gina's life and her first true love and her ex-husband, in small sections, not in chronological order, at the beginning of each chapter, as one of Gina's items is looked at and its past is revealed.

As a result I found the story took a very long time to get going, and I honestly only started to enjoy reading the book in the last 25%. I found it very slow to get going and at times I was wondering if it was worth it. I'm still not completely sure I made the correct decision to finish reading this.

I can't explain it, but just didn't really feel like this was up to Lucy Dillon's usual quality, which is a shame as I usually love her books, and hope her next one is a lot better.

A WONDERFUL BOOK

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2020

Verified Purchase

I have really enjoyed all the books I have read so far by Lucy Dillon, but rate this the best yet. Wonderful story, beautifully written and I love the way she brings a dog into all of her books. Buzz the greyhound was a sad case but I suppose every reader guessed that Gina would keep him - they needed each other. I am looking forward to reading other books by Lucy Dillon.

So good I read it twice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2017

Verified Purchase

I found this book very moving and sensitively written. However, It is not maudlin or over sentimental. I have a friend experiencing a return of breast cancer. Knowing this, the book resonated more with me on second reading. It is well researched, both on the health issues side and building renovation and of course, the benefit of taking in a homeless dog. I liked the way the story demonstrates how everyday life ((and love) continues despite the problems of health, divorce and coming to terms with the past. I am happy to recommend this book.
