‘A new Frances Whiting novel is always a cause for celebration! Frances writes page-turning stories filled with warmth, wit, wisdom and charm. One of my favourite Australian writers.'
–Liane Moriarty, New York Times Bestselling author of Here One Moment

'When I finished The Nocturnals, I immediately wanted to ring every friend I adore. Glowing with tenderness. It's a witty, soulful story about the families that shape us, the families we choose, and the version of ourselves that surface in the private hours after midnight.'
–Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author of Mad Mabel

'From the first page, I knew I was in the hands of a master. I found myself kicking my little feet in bed with anticipation of every next page. I'm bereft that the book is over, and nostalgic for friends that I wish were mine.'
–Astrid Jorgensen, Founding Director Pub Choir. Best selling author of Average at Best

'The Nocturnals is, frankly, irresistible. Think The Breakfast Club meets The Great Gatsby — clever, funny, and impossible to put down. I'm calling it as one of the best reads of 2026.'
–Rebecca Sparrow, Birds of a Feather Book Club
