2009 novel by david nicholls5/19/2023 More than just a novel, One Day was a cultural phenomenon. Most people you spoke to, of a certain social background, had read it – and all of those, male and female, would admit to shedding tears, often in public, at the story’s climax. It is a book bursting with insightful temporal references, an inventive day-a-year structure, and an effortless feel for both the enthusiasm and neuroses of the lives of twenty-somethings.īalancing the knotty, will-they-won’t-they love story at its centre, the book was somehow both literary and popcorn-populist – and insanely readable. Over the winter of 2009, the book was everywhere, a five-million seller that commuters in Nicholls’s hometown devoured. It wasn't long ago when it seemed as if you couldn't board a train on the London Underground without seeing someone's face buried in a distinctive orange-and-white paperback with two silhouetted faces – David Nicholls's best- seller One Day.
