We Need to Talk by Jonathan Crane

We Need to Talk by Jonathan Crane

It's 2019 in Sudleigh, a market town not far from the south coast. It's not a bad place to live, provided the new housing development doesn't ruin it, but most residents are too caught up in their own grudges, sores and struggles to notice. A wickedly honest portrait of Middle England on the eve of Covid.

'A hymn to the mundane, as intricately crafted as an Ayckbourn playA brilliant first novel' - Ailsa Cox, 'Jonathan Crane exposes the new heart of England. A beautifully paced, gossipy, moving novel about a divided nation drifting out of touch with itself' - Matthew De Abaitua, 'Paints a picture of Middle England on the eve of the coronavirus pandemic, told through a series of wonderful, unexpected characters and their interconnected lives. It's a very rewarding read' - Georgina Godwin, Monocle Reads, 'A series of small and tall tales of people who are all entwined, with some glorious moments as well as some very touching ones. I really enjoyed having a peek behind the curtain at all these amazing characters. Jonathan Crane is a wonderful writer' - Tony Fisher, BBC Essex, 'Crane perfectly encapsulates the suffocation and claustrophobia of a woefully average English town. Each story is rich with the everyday - nothing is unusual or out of the ordinary, and that's what makes We Need to Talk so enjoyable' Storgy Magazine
