He comes from a 'broken' home, has had his struggles with alcohol, but underneath the bravado is intelligent and kind and observant. i thought there was a reason as to why he didn't wanna attend university- like something wrong with his heart because that was literally how the story was going but she forgot about it and moved on like what. And because I often get asked to compare books, I would say that if you liked Normal People, One Day and The Rachel Incident, this one is for you.

It’s quite a change from tapping quietly on my keyboard, to talking about the work to so many people.My only complaints - and they’re minor - are that at 400 pages it felt like the story could be tightened up a little, and there were a LOT of unnecessary commas which I had to start tuning out to keep the flow going properly. Everybody asks that of an author’s debut, but while my emotional fingerprints are all over her – like the fact we both went to Oxford University and her sense of perfectionism – she’s entirely fictional. Das Buch handelt von verpassten Chancen, von Erwartungsdruck, von Freundschaft, Familie und der großen Liebe. She has spent most of her life in Hertfordshire, but currently lives in Scotland with her husband and spaniel.

Post-launch, I’ve got a few author events planned to meet readers all over the country – some in Herts, Cambridge, Scotland, Salisbury – and I’m also attending Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Festival to talk about the book, after she chose Talking at Night for her book club, which is incredibly exciting. Quiet, melancholic, poignant, engaging, sweet, gentle, complicated, raw … there are so many adjectives I could use to describe this lovely debut from Claire Daverley, and I still wouldn’t be able to quite capture it.yes, both books are about two 20 somethings who are too young, afraid, and marred by traumatic life events to act on the love they have for eachother but that's where the comparison ends. The relationships are portrayed with compassion and honesty, and the author’s note at the end that explains Hoover’s personal connection to the subject matter is a must-read. She has spent most of her life in Hertfordshire, but now lives in Scotland with her husband and spaniel. If your work is ready, if you are happy with it – if it’s the best you think you can get it – then now is the time.

I’ll often spend a few more hours writing or editing in the morning, or at the end of the day just before dinner. I think that helped wildly, with their chemistry, and also added to the magic of writing this time round. Visually-rich storytelling and a strong supporting cast added to my enjoyment - I loved Will’s grandmother and his sister Amber, particularly.Was ich jedoch sehr mochte, war, dass hier einmal die weiblich Hauptperson diejenige ist, die ihren (potenziellen) Partner nicht so behandelt, wie er es verdient. Through all their losses and misfires, Will and Rosie keep looking, and readers will keep turning pages, hoping that these two characters will find each other at last. And the worst piece of writing advice I ever got was fairly reasonable, but at the same time, very frustrating! I adored We All Want Impossible Things, a gorgeous novel by Catherine Newman that is somehow about death but also life, and all the sadness and undeniable joy that goes with it.

The truest, most enduring stories are the ones that you feel in your gut – that you have the stomach to stick with, that can draw you through from beginning to end. Daverley’s moving debut outlines a lyrical story of unspoken words and one unending love: “But her voice keeps him awake that night. Get back to the writing itself; maybe read something really brilliant, that’ll inspire you to keep going; then get back to work. Will und Rosie tragen beide große Päckchen mit sich herum: Depressionen, psychischer Missbrauch in der Familie, Alkoholsucht, Essstörungen, den Tod geliebter Menschen.
