Daydreamers is a novel set in the late 1990s, which follows the parallel stories of two people living in the same Greater London provincial town. They are two very different characters, one male, one female, with one thing in common, a dissatisfaction with their everyday lives, which leads them to seek solace and escape in a private world of fantasies and daydreams. Martin is obsessed with sports trivia and struggles to fit in at his work, where he is bullied, whilst Jacqui is an unmarried mum who suffers at the hands of an abusive partner. The novel charts their respective progress through failed attempts at relationships, raised hopes and disappointments, until a chance social event causes their paths to cross, with the burning question, how will they interact when they finally meet? The novel is one of ordinary lives and a search for true love. It examines the theme of how initial appearances can be deceptive and the need to look under the surface to see what people are really like, and to identify the things which are most important in finding long lasting happiness.
