Despite this darker tone, I found the writing a great pleasure, and much of this was down to Emma Morley. In some respects she's an archetype, which is, I suppose, a polite literary way of saying that she's largely stolen from better writers. Dexter was harder to love. As I've mentioned, he was conceived as an antidote to the menschen of my previous books, but certainly there are times when he stretches the limits of likeability. I still hold that behind the swagger and arrogance there's a decent person, and that this is what Emma holds on to.

Besides, One Day was always conceived of as a redemption story, and there's no redemption without sin. Like all writers, I sometimes fantasise about getting the manuscript back for one last pass. The structure is, of course, a contrivance. There are, I think, a few too many jokes and jibes along the way, moments where the prose lapses into a kind of transcribed stand-up comedy. In the same vein, there are times when the cultural specifics become a little laboured — the mobile-phone jokes. But despite the occasional complaints from readers, I would never dream of changing the ending.

That passage from Tess was the catalyst for One Day. The ending was the beginning, and to me the book is unimaginable without it. One Day by David Nicholls.
