'Pushes all the seductive buttons in a world tangential to our own'
(Edward Fennell, The Times) Meet Simon Haines. For a decade he's
been chasing his dream: partnership at the legendary, family-run
law firm of Fiennes & Plunkett. The gruelling hours and manic
intensity of his job have come close to breaking him, but he has
made it through the years and is now within a whisker of his
millions: in less than two weeks, he will know the outcome of the
partnership vote. He decides to spend the wait in Cuba in an
attempt to rediscover his youthful enthusiasm and curiosity, and to
clear his mind before the arrival of the news that might change his
life forever. But alone in Havana he becomes lost in nostalgia and
begins to relive his past...Set against the backdrop of an
uncertain world, and charged with emotion, Being Simon Haines is a
searching story about contemporary London and aspiration, values
and love. Painting a picture of a generation of young
professionals, it asks the most universal of questions: are we
strong enough to know who we are? 'Beautiful, intelligent, and
thoroughly readable' (Ian Sansom)
