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

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

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

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.
