"High Fidelity" is Nick Hornby's hilarious and heart-breaking first
novel bestseller. Do you know your desert-island, all-time, top
five most memorable split-ups? Rob does. He keeps a list, in fact.
But Laura isn't on it - even though she's just become his latest
ex. He's got his life back, you see. He can just do what he wants
when he wants: like listen to whatever music he likes, look up the
girls that are on his list, and generally behave as if Laura never
mattered. But Rob finds he can't move on. He's stuck in a really
deep groove - and it's called Laura. Soon, he's asking himself some
big questions: about love, about life - and about why we choose to
share ours with the people we do. A million-copy bestseller, and
adapted into a 2000 film starring John Cusack, "High Fidelity"
explores the world of break-ups, make-ups and what it is to be in
love. This astutely observed and wickedly funny book will be
enjoyed by readers of David Nicholls and William Boyd, and by
generations of readers to come. "It will give enormous pleasure at
the same time as expanding in a small but worthwhile way, the range
of English literature". ("Independent on Sunday"). "Leaves you
believing not only in the redemptive power of music but above all
the redemptive power of love. Funny and wise, sweet and true".
("Independent"). "A triumphant first novel. True to life, very
funny and moving". ("Financial Times"). Nick Hornby has captivated
readers and achieved great critical acclaim for his comic,
well-observed novels "About a Boy", "How to be Good", "A Long Way
Down" (shortlisted for the Whitbread Award), "Slam" and "Juliet,
Naked". His three works of non-fiction, "31 Songs" (shortlisted for
the National Book Critics Circle Award), "Fever Pitch" (winner of
the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award) and "The Complete
Polysyllabic Spree" are also available from Penguin.
