Holly Williams is a journalist and worked for The Independent for six years. She is currently a theatre critic for Time Out and The Mail on Sunday, and a book reviewer for The Observer and The TLS. She was born in Wales and currently lives in Sheffield. What Time Is Love? is her first novel.
A startlingly great debut. Holly's beautiful prose smoulders,
crackles and roars, but it's the storytelling that really
astonishes. Propulsive, immersive, a book you can really live in.
This book is masterfully crafted, brilliantly socially observed,
but most of all it's a dazzlingly and painfully resonant
exploration of the way women live, and how our freedom must be
cherished and protected.

What Time is Love? is not only a beautifully told love story but
also a fascinating account of the changing social mores of the 20th
century. I found it delightful, insightful and immersive.
*Kate Eberlen*
A unique and wonderfully crafted debut, What Time Is Love? has it
all - nostalgia and romance, captivating characters and stunning
prose. It's a truly tender, thought-provoking exploration of what
makes a relationship work - and of how, when it comes to love,
timing is sometimes everything. An unforgettable story with writing
that sparkles: a gem of a read.
*Holly Miller*
Holly Williams has written a stunning, skilful, deftly drawn,
cockle-warmer of a novel that somehow sweeps you through half a
century while feeling like a leisurely afternoon. Prose so good I
couldn't stop underlining.
*Lauren Bravo*
A fiercely original novel on the powerful effect circumstance and
timing has on life, on love. A brave and astute write on politics,
with feisty and complex protagonists in Albert and Violet, What
Time Is Love? skilfully excavates the great questions of our modern
age; the battle for equality, the difficulty that is marriage and
the inter-generational effects of class on the individual. A
wonderful, original and powerful debut by the very talented Holly
Williams. She is wild and brilliant.
*Elaine Feeney*
Heartwarming
*BELLA*
A clever concept that casts a light on the different social mores
of changing times, but remains a love story at its heart
*BEST*
An invigorating debut
*THE OBSERVER*
An engaging debut [that] asks an eternal question: what if you meet
the right person at the wrong time?
*DAILY MAIL*
The debut novel from arts journalist Holly Williams is already
