I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! The next book I'm writing isn't a sequel - I think I need to let the events in Our Endless Numbered Days stew for a while. But I wouldn't rule a sequel out in the future, just no plans for it yet.
Thanks for your question.

Hunger and Thirst is published in the US and Canada Today

A person holding two copies of the book 'Hunger & Thirst' by Claire Fuller, one with a black cover and the other with a yellow cover. The background features a bookshelf filled with various books.

I’m delighted that today, my sixth novel Hunger and Thirst is published by Tin House / Zando in the US, and by Bond Street Books / Double Day in Canada.

Aren’t these covers amazing?

It’s Belletrist’s book club pick for June (I’ll be doing an Instagram Live with them on 6 June), and on Thursday 4 June I’ll be live on a Canadian TV breakfast show (remotely!). There are lots of podcast interviews

Quotes by Claire Fuller  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Writing does not exist unless there is someone to read it, and each reader will take something different from a novel, from a chapter, from a line.”
Claire Fuller, Swimming Lessons

“My father was fond of saying 'If you own too many possessions sooner or later they start owning you.”
Claire Fuller, Our Endless Numbered Days

“Dates only make us aware of how numbered our days are, how much closer to death we are for each one we cross off. From now on, Punzel, we're going to live by the sun and the seasons.' He picked me up and spun me around, laughing.'Our days will be endless.”
Claire Fuller, Our Endless Numbered Days
