About this listen
'A gorgeous, moving love story about coming to terms with your past and deciding what you want for your future' Emily Stone, author of A Winter Wish
'A delight. I came for the literary intrigue and stayed for the sizzling chemistry' Laura Pearson, author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont
'What a delightful and heartfelt read!' Allison Raskin, author of Save the Date
Daisy Douglas has spent her life behind the scenes: at work, in her relationships, and now, in planning a wedding she isn't sure she even wants. As an entertainment journalist, she can spot the start of a story a mile away. So when her routine 4 a.m. bus ride to the newsroom takes a surprising turn, she notices.
For months, the same man has boarded at the same stop, reading the same tattered copy of Virginia Woolf's Orlando over and over as if his life depends on it. When a broken-down bus and a shared walk through the quiet early-morning London streets finally throws them together, Tom reveals the heartbreaking truth as to why he can't be without his novel.
Determined to help him find the answer to the riddle hidden in its pages, Daisy joins Tom on his strange literary quest-one that leads them to places neither of them ever expected. But as their friendship deepens, she starts to wonder if what they're both looking for might not be in the book after all.©2026 Tessa Bickers (P)2026 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
Critic Reviews
A beautiful, unforgettable story filled with hope, humour and the kind of chemistry that leaps off the page. I devoured it in one sitting and finished with a smile (and a few tears) I couldn't shake. Bravo Tessa! (Meg Anderson, author of THE MEMORY OF BORROWED BOOKS)
A joyous romantic tale that tackles some big issues, sensitively explored with a light touch while still delivering an emotional punch - a rare talent. Tessa is an exceptional writer and this book has it all: wisdom, humour, and heart. A five-star read. (Christina Pishiris, author of LOVE SONGS FOR SCEPTICS)
Tender, funny, and so hopeful, this is bound to be one of your new favorites! Daisy and Tom have my whole heart. (Sally Blakely, author of FRIENDS TO LOVERS)
Tessa Bickers' writing is like sinking into a warm bubble bath. The Night Bus is a ray of sunshine. I loved it (Freya Berry, author of THE BIRDCAGE LIBRARY)
Utterly charming and delightful (Julie Cohen, author of EAT, SLAY, LOVE)
Tessa Bickers' writing is such a joy to read. Vivid, warm and unputdownable. (Lia Louis, author of BETTER LEFT UNSENT)
