Now in paperback-"The New York Times" bestselling novel of rock 'n
roll, super fandom, and love, by the beloved author of "About a
Boy" and "High Fidelity."
Nick Hornby returns to his roots-music and messy relationships-in
this funny and touching new novel which thoughtfully and
sympathetically looks at how lives can be wasted but how they are
never beyond redemption. Annie lives in a dull town on England's
bleak east coast and is in a relationship with Duncan which mirrors
the place; Tucker was once a brilliant songwriter and performer,
who's gone into seclusion in rural America-or at least that's what
his fans think. Duncan is obsessed with Tucker's work, to the point
of derangement, and when Annie dares to go public on her dislike of
his latest album, there are quite unexpected, life-changing
consequences for all three.
Nick Hornby uses this intriguing canvas to explore why it is we so
often let the early promise of relationships, ambition and indeed
life evaporate. And he comes to some surprisingly optimistic
conclusions about the struggle to live up to one's promise.
