About this listen
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...

Critic Reviews
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
With shades of Sally Rooney, this is a lyrical, tender love story
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 (LAURA BARNETT, author of THE VERSIONS OF US)
A passionate, page-turning debut
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 (CHRIS WHITAKER, author of WE BEGIN AT THE END)
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 (RUTH HOGAN, author of THE KEEPER OF LOST THINGS)
Spellbinding, beautiful, lyrical and tender, Talking at Night is a dazzling debut. I loved every word and was left longing for more (ROSIE WALSH, bestselling author of THE MAN WHO DIDN'T CALL)
So beautifully written and the way Daverley brings each character to life is so impressive. Everyone should read this book
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. (ISABELLE BROOM)
What starts off as a star-crossed love story with believable hurdles and unfortunate complications gradually devolves into a dour situationship fueled by the absurd choices made repeatedly by Rosie, the female protagonist. The male lead, Will, is content being her knight in shining armor whenever Rosie needs him while silently pining for her every time she decides to up and leave him for no good reason.
See, I wanted our MCs to be complex and messy but captivating, you know? Unfortunately, they just turned out to be bland and kind of pathetic. Frankly, I was rooting for them to walk away from each other for good.
Well-written prose but severely underdeveloped MCs
