'Extremely funny . . . and wise' Sunday Times NOW A MAJOR MOTION
PICTURE __________________________ 'Can I explain why I wanted to
jump off the top of a tower block?' For disgraced TV presenter
Martin Sharp the answer's pretty simple: he has, in his own words,
'pissed his life away'. And on New Year's Eve he's going to end it
all . . . but not, as it happens, alone. Because first single-mum
Maureen, then eighteen-year-old Jess and lastly American rock-god
JJ turn up and crash Martin's private party. They've stolen his
idea - but brought their own reasons. Yet it's hard to jump when
you've got an audience queuing impatiently behind you. A few heated
words and some slices if cold pizza later and these four strangers
are suddenly allies. But is their unlikely friendship a good enough
reason to carry on living? Shortlisted for the 2005 Whitbread Award
and the Commonwealth Writers Prize, A Long Way Down is a darkly
hilarious and moving novel by bestselling author Nick Hornby.
