I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! The next book I'm writing isn't a sequel - I think I need to let the events in Our Endless Numbered Days stew for a while. But I wouldn't rule a sequel out in the future, just no plans for it yet.
Thanks for your question.

Festival du Premier Roman

A couple of weeks ago I was wentto Chambery in France, where I had been invited to speak at the Festival du Premier Roman, an annual literary festival all about debut novels. The organisers bring together 15 French authors, as well as writers from Spain, Portugal, Romania, Germany and Great Britain. The books and the authors who are invited are selected by various...

I read this about 25 years ago when I was 14, and on Saturday I was lucky enough to see Edna O'Brien (now aged 85) speak at event near where I live. She was so wonderful - warm and funny - and the book is just the same.
She has a really interesting s

Absolutely outstanding. This collection will definitely make it into my top books of 2016. They are exactly the kind of stories I like - where things happen, often bleak, sad things. These stories are about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstan ...more

I can't give this book a rating - it doesn't seem fair. Would I be rating it for content? (Brave, moving, honest, open, emotional.) Or for writing style? (I prefer a more crafted style.)
It's enough to say that I couldn't put it down and I was incredi

There were many things I loved about this book, but quite a few that frustrated me, but because the story, the characters, the descriptions kept me racing to the end I gave it four stars. I loved the ghostly feel to certain sections, and in fact it's ...more

Nope. Wordy and boring. The narrator is very dislikeable (womaniser, alcholic, hypochondriac) but that didn't put me off - the nasty people should be the most interesting. It was trying to be a ghost story and none of it was frightening at all. I've ...more

I loved this, raced through it, and would happily read it again. There were two narratives which overlap in a ghostly way, and I never wished to be reading the other, which means they were both as interesting as each other. In fact there are three, b ...more

The first Will Self I've read. Nicely odd, but not quite nice enough that I'll actively search out more short stories by him. But if someone put one in my hands and said 'Here, read this,' I probably would.

“My father was fond of saying 'If you own too many possessions sooner or later they start owning you.”
Claire Fuller, Our Endless Numbered Days

“Dates only make us aware of how numbered our days are, how much closer to death we are for each one we cross off. From now on, Punzel, we're going to live by the sun and the seasons.' He picked me up and spun me around, laughing.'Our days will be endless.”
Claire Fuller, Our Endless Numbered Days

“It's the worst kind of person who goes back on a promise, even one they made to themselves.”
