One Day
One Day is written by David Nicholls, author of Starter for Ten, and is best described as a heartbreaking look at how we become the people we are today, but without the nostalgic motives on display in similar novels. `I can imagine you at forty,` she said, a hint of malice in her voice. `I can picture it right now.` He smiled without opening his eyes. `Go on then.` It all begins on 15th July 1988, when Emma and Dexter meet for the first time on the night of their graduation. Tomorrow they must go their separate ways. So where will they be on this one day next year? And the year after that? And every year that follows? Twenty years, two people, one day.David Nicholls looks at the often painful gap between who we are now and who we once were, and crafts a compassionate, sad, funny and above all witty novel.
