Shropshire/London based novelist James Hannah is set to release his debut novel in March 2015 - The A to Z of You and Me - about Ivo, a young man in a hospice bed thinking back over his life.

The book is remarkable both because of its narrative voice and its structure, which sees Ivo playing an A-Z game and telling stories about different parts of his body in alphabetical order, gradually revealing his own life story in the process. Exploring themes including love and mortality, the novel has been described as a 'wry and tender love story' by Costa Prize winning author Catherine O'Flynn, and has been likened to the work of David Nicholls and Chris Cleave.
