Join us at Suddenly on Sheaf Street as we welcome Claire Daverley on Sunday 9th June at 5pm to celebrate the paperback publication of her beautiful debut novel, Talking at Night.
Already adored by the bookselling team this novel is a celebration (and commiseration) of first love. It 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 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…
Claire Daverley has been writing stories since she was 6 years old, inspired by art, film and many trips to the library. After graduating with a degree in Fine Art from the University of Oxford, she began a career in publishing, writing about books by day but penning her own by night, on trains, and in the light of the early mornings.
Her debut novel Talking at Night has sold in 22 languages and optioned for TV. She has spent most of her life in Hertfordshire, but recently relocated to Dunoon, Scotland.
