"New York Times"-bestselling author Nick Hornby mines the hearts
and psyches of four lost souls who connect just when they've
reached the end of the line. "A Long Way Down" is now a major
motion picture from Magnolia Pictures starring Pierce Brosnan, Toni
Collette, Aaron Paul, and Imogen Poots.
Meet Martin, JJ, Jess, and Maureen. Four people who come together
on New Year's Eve: a former TV talk show host, a musician, a
teenage girl, and a mother. Three are British, one is American.
They encounter one another on the roof of Topper's House, a London
destination famous as the last stop for those ready to end their
lives.
In four distinct and riveting first-person voices, Nick Hornby
tells a story of four individuals confronting the limits of choice,
circumstance, and their own mortality. This is a tale of
connections made and missed, punishing regrets, and the grace of
second chances.
Intense, hilarious, provocative, and moving, "A Long Way Down" is
a novel about suicide that is, surprisingly, full of life.
