Things We Never Said is out at midnight!

Hi everyone,
My new novel, Things We Never Said is out at midnight tonight.

"From the author of the The French House, The Photographer's Wife and The Other Son, Nick Alexander’s new novel is an epic tale of the secrets we hide from each other, the things we never say."

“One day, we’ll be dead, and we still won’t have known each other. Not properly. Because no one ever does.”

Nick Alexander liked Kath's review of Evenings and Weekends: "A friend recommended this book on his blog and, the way he spoke about it gave me mega FOMO. Luckily I managed to snaffle me a copy and, as per usual, discovered that once again, his thoughts and feelings were spot on. We start in 2019, with a whale b" Read more of this review »

Nick Alexander liked Jonathan Welford's review of Evenings and Weekends: "There’s something quietly addictive about Evenings and Weekends. It slips under your skin rather than grabbing you by the throat. On the surface, very little “happens”. Underneath, everything is shifting. It feels like a distinctly millennial echo of " Read more of this review »

I thought this was just amazing. The best thing I've read this year. Stunning prose describing multiple lives criss-crossing one scorching weekend in London. Thrilling, young, zesty... It actually made me feel young again. And who can ask for more than ...more

Quotes by Nick Alexander (?)

“I stand and grab a hefty bottle of perfume from the bathroom shelf and return to the bedroom door. It’s not much of a weapon, I know, but it’s heavy and square, and hitting someone over the head with a glass brick has got to be better than bitch-slapping them.”
― Nick Alexander, The Case Of The Missing Boyfriend

“You meet people and sometimes they’re more important to you than you are to them. Sometimes you just have to give thanks for all the ways knowing them has changed you, and watch them walk away to pastures new.”
― Nick Alexander, Things We Never Said
