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. Gap-year Tom is cleaning
toilets but finding unexpected solace in his Chinese house-share.
Former lounge musician Frank wants to pass his carpet business to
his nephew Josh, killing the boy's dream to become a chef.
Sharp-elbowed phone-sex operator Heather will stop at nothing to
become manager of the golf club. Miss Bennett keeps putting her
house on the market when she doesn't want to move. Do they all know
how their lives are linked? And will creative writing tutor Tony,
hard at work on his ironic pseudo-children's book The Jazz Cats,
ever pluck up the courage to leave his unappreciative girlfriend
Lydia? Meticulously observed, with flashes of wicked comedy, We
Need to Talk offers a jigsaw puzzle of unwitting connections for
the reader to assemble. The finished picture is an unflinchingly
honest portrait of multi-jobbing, gig-economy Middle England on the
eve of Covid.
