What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Will and Rosie meet as teenagers. They're opposites in every way, but over secret walks home and late-night 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...

Critics Review

A beautifully observed, tender love story with characters you really care about...a bit like Normal People. I devoured it
JOJO MOYES
Tender and true, this is a stunning debut with lyrical and emotional writing that reminded me at times of Sally Rooney
Good Housekeeping
With shades of Sally Rooney, this is a lyrical, tender love story
Good Housekeeping, 'The books we're looking forward to in 2023'
Deeply romantic . . . Reminded me of just how all-consuming and transformative first love can be. The more I read, the more I was completely immersed in the story of Rosie and Will and how life, and tragedy, conspire to keep them apart
LAURA BARNETT, author of THE VERSIONS OF US
A passionate, page-turning debut
Daily Mail
Quietly devastating, entirely beautiful, bruising and hopeful. In a world of compromise, Claire Daverley has created a perfect thing. Talking at Night takes its place amongst my all time favourites. I implore you to read it. I'll never forget it
CHRIS WHITAKER, author of WE BEGIN AT THE END
Talking at Night is a masterful and authentic depiction of true love in all its messy, complicated and gut-wrenching glory. Will and Rosie are the perfect, imperfect star-crossed lovers - their story had me enthralled from the start
RUTH HOGAN, author of THE KEEPER OF LOST THINGS
Spellbinding, beautiful, lyrical and tender, Talking at Night is a dazzling debut. I loved every word and was left longing for more

A stunning debut about the complicated nature of love. Like the very best of Sally Rooney with added lashings of heart - I loved it. Claire Daverley has become an automatic must-read for me. A captivating, nuanced and beautiful debut.
