Ebun Ciara was beautiful. She had long slim legs and an oval face and beautiful almond shaped eyes. She was declared missing the next day.
When Ebun disappears during a trip abroad, the lives of those she leaves behind begin to quietly unravel.
Temi is left grappling with grief without closure. In Manchester, she tries to hold herself together-navigating a strained relationship, therapy sessions, and an unexpected pull toward spirituality that challenges everything she thought she believed about love, faith, and herself.
Lawrence, meanwhile, is struggling to stay afloat. A young father with a complicated past, he balances work, co-parenting, and the weight of loss while trying to be a good friend, a good partner, and a good man. As new relationships form and old wounds resurface, Lawrence is forced to confront who he is becoming-and who he's already lost.
As Temi and Lawrence move through heartbreak, betrayal, and unanswered questions, their journeys mirror one another in unexpected ways. Both must reckon with absence-of truth, of certainty, of people they love-and decide how to move forward when the past refuses to stay buried.
Set against the backdrop of Manchester's festivals, flats, and late-night conversations, The Distance Between Us, is a contemporary novel about friendship, diaspora, grief, and the search for meaning in a world that offers no easy answers
