The blockbuster debut love story that will keep you awake until morning - for fans of One Day and Normal People.

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...

About the Author

Claire Daverley was born in 1991 and has been writing stories ever since she was six years old, inspired by art and film and her 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. She has spent most of her life in Hertfordshire, but now lives in Scotland with her husband and spaniel. Her debut novel, Talking at Night, has sold in twenty-two languages to date.
