What is We Need to Talk about?
Its 2019 in Sudleigh, a market town not far from the south coast. Its not a bad place to live, provided the new housing development doesnt ruin it, but most residents are too caught up in their own disappointments, grudges, and sores to notice. Former lounge musician Frank wants to pass his carpet business to his nephew Joe, killing the boys dream to become a chef. Sharp-elbowed phone-sex operator Heather will stop at nothing to become the manager of the golf club. Gap-year Tom is cleaning toilets but finding unexpected solace in his Chinese house-share. Miss Bennett keeps putting her house on the market when she doesnt want to move. Do they all know how their lives are linked? Meticulously observed, We Need to Talk offers a jigsaw puzzle of unwitting connections for the reader to assemble. The finished picture is a hyper-real, unflinchingly honest portrait of multi-jobbing, gig-economy Middle England on the eve of Covid, confirming some preconceptions while gently upsetting others.
