Über diesen Titel
A barbed, funny, painfully well-observed study of contemporary relationships, centring on the love triangle between a wife, her husband, and his mobile phone.
'I shall explain about our marriage. We have a modern version of a long-distance relationship. We share a house, but live in different historical eras...'
What happens in a relationship when your partner only has eyes for their new phone?
What happens when you lose a treasured possession - a hoard of love letters documenting a relationship that never really ended - and this loss becomes an obsession?
Speak to Me is the story of a woman's quest, in a world ruled by screens and devices, for a conversation that will unlock who she once was, and what she really wants now. Keenly observed, tender and sharply funny, this is an audiobook about all the ways we say, and don't say, the things in our hearts.

Kritikerstimmen
'There are three of us in this - you, me and your mobile. How many couples have said this to each other? Paula Cocozza's witty, wry new novel is sharp as a skewer about the devices and desires in many modern marriages. I loved it.' (Amanda Craig, author of The Golden Rule)
'A beguiling and unsettling modern love story, full of wit, bafflement and razor-sharp swipes at modern desperation. She loves her past; he loves his phone, the centre cannot hold.' (Louisa Young, author of A Year and a Day)
'A meticulously composed novel about getting and paying attention. Paula Cocozza peels back the screens of modern life to explore different types of distance - from those we love and from ourselves, in a marriage and back to a lingering youthful relationship. Cool, compelling, Speak To Me is both timeless and vividly contemporary.' (Richard Beard, author of The Day That Went Missing)
