International bestselling author
'Few writers think and talk so beguilingly. This book is wonderfully funny. And intelligent. And moving.'
The Independent on Sunday
From the Man Booker Prize-winning author comes a novel of profound insight and comic flare.
Shy, sensible banker Stuart has trouble with women; that is, until a fortuitous singles night, where he meets Gillian, a picture restorer recovering from a destructive affair. Stuart's best friend Oliver is his complete opposite – a language teacher who 'talks like a dictionary', brash and feckless. Soon Stuart and Gillian are married, but it is not long before a tentative friendship between the three evolves into something far different.
Talking it Over is a brilliant and intimate account of love's vicissitudes. It begins as a comedy of errors, then slowly darkens and deepens, drawing us compellingly into the quagmires of the heart.
'A wonderfully wistful and funny novel.'
The Daily Telegraph
'Scintillating ... It's funny, quick on the draw, and knows when to soften the gaze. It reads so smoothly, the pages seem to flip themselves.'
The Observer
'Quicksilver clever and allusive.'
The Times
'A writer of rare intelligence. He catches the detail of contemporary life with an uncanny forensic skill ... He is, as always, a superb ironist, a connoisseur of middling, muddling, modern England.'
London Review of Books
