Talking at Night: 'A beautifully observed, tender love story. A bit like Normal People. I devoured it' JOJO MOYES

Product Information

I had shadows of scenes with Will and Rosie in my head, years before I put pen to paper, and their voices became clearer and clearer the more I listened. Gleichzeitig konnte ich aber Rosies Begründungen keine Beziehung mit Will zu beginnen, teilweise nur schwer nachvollziehen. This is a story with a tremendous amount of emotional depth and nuance, told in a way that is raw, honest, heartfelt, and realistic.

And I had no choice but to keep going; I loved it, it was a compulsion, and just finishing something didn’t seem to be getting me any closer to publication. The two are opposites in every way and yet they fall for each other as teenagers; nineties music, sideways glances, sunsets and bonfires and talking late into the night. She, on the other hand, is a rule-follower and good student whose future goals, along with her twin brother Josh’s, have largely been dictated by their successful mother.

Diary entries fancifully addressed to TV host Ellen DeGeneres serve as flashbacks to Lily’s teenage years, when she met her first love, Atlas Corrigan, a homeless boy she found squatting in a neighbor’s house. The closer Will and Rosie get, though, the further Josh seems to pull away from his sister, until tragedy strikes and leaves their budding romance in shambles. The palpable, intense chemistry between Beat and Melody turns them into instant celebrities, leading fans to embrace their on-camera romance with even more intense fervor than the possible Steel Birds reunion. Will White and Rosie Winters, schoolmates who barely know each other, are unexpectedly swept up one night and talk for hours at a bonfire. Compelling and propulsive, Talking at Night is an achingly beautiful novel about the people in our lives who change us irrevocably and who we will always carry with us, no matter what.

At first glance, we’ve met this couple before – the shy, straight-A girl who falls for the handsome, wrong-sides-of-the-track boy.Will and Rosie are the perfect, imperfect star-crossed lovers – their story had me enthralled from the start. it hurts to love you but i still love you it's just the way i feel," lana wrote this lyric for will. We really get to know the characters through the timeline from when they were teenagers to then adults and this definitely helped with building a connection. However, if any of Rooney's novels made your skin crawl in a negative way, I’d say to stay away from this book. An incredible connection draws them together, and through late-night conversations, they imprint on each other.

It just got so tiring and I almost wanted Will to move on with someone else because she doesn't deserve him even for a second. Because an idea that feels great in your head, or even sparks something in your heart, is great, but probably won’t last – it’ll likely fizzle out by the first 10,000 words. I’ll often spend a few more hours writing or editing in the morning, or at the end of the day just before dinner.A wonderfully captivating, character-driven novel, Talking at Night by Claire Daverley is sure to make it to numerous "best of the year" lists.
