About the book

‘A beautifully observed, tender love story...I devoured it’ JOJO MOYES

A celebration (and commiseration) of first love, this is nostalgic, tear-jerking, utterly compelling and completely unforgettable. Spanning several decades, Talking at Night is about sudden connections, missed opportunities, the many loves we have over a lifetime – and the one that keeps us coming back for more... 

Will and Rosie meet as teenagers. They are opposites in every way, but over secret walks home and latenight phone calls, they become closer, destined to be one another’s great love story.

Until one day, tragedy strikes, and any possibility of them being together shatters. But that tragedy – and their history – is what will connect them forever…

For those that willed on the romance between Emma & Dexter in David Nicholls' One Day and felt the pang of first love between Connell & Marianne in Sally Rooney's Normal People, it is time to add Will & Rosie's will-they-won't-they love story to the bookshelf...
