'Later, Philip Anderson would remember the day as a succession of
increasingly unlikely occurrences, the first of which was a glimpse
of a neighbour's leg............' A chance meeting between two
neighbours sparks a series of events which will affect the lives of
a small, diverse group of people in London over the course of eight
days in February 2010. Some Place South of Perfect is a wry
depiction of interacting lives which examines how thin the margins
between safety and danger, success and failure, happiness and
misery really are. In a fast-moving, yet reflective, novel we see
events through the eyes of an engaging roster of people; a
narcissistic, philandering sportsman; a lovelorn journalist;
taciturn bankers; idealistic academics; a couple attempting to
reignite their marriage; musicians; youths from the wrong side of
the tracks and amoral men from the margins of paramilitary
organisations. Spiked through with acerbic observation, Some Place
South of Perfect presents a microcosm of life as it is lived now
and a new slant on age-old dilemmas.
