Talking It Over

Shy, sensible banker Stuart has trouble with women; that is, until a fortuitous single night, where he meets Gillian, a picture restorer recovering from a destructive affair. The problem? The ostentatious Oliver also falls in love with quiet Gillian and wants to marry her.  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 from the Booker Prize-winning author. Each character takes turns addressing the reader in this bright and funny "he said/she said/he said" novel, drawing us compellingly into the quagmires of the heart.
