Sweet Sorrow

Ten years after One Day became the iconic love story for a generation and five years since the journey of Us took him to the Man Booker Prize long-list, David Nicholls has written a major new novel: Sweet Sorrow. A hymn to the tragicomedy of ordinary lives, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, blinding explosion of first love that perhaps can only be looked at directly once it has burned out.
