A Long Way Down - Nick Hornby
KORTE INHOUD
"Hornby's best novel to date, impossible to put down... How can an examination of four people's anguish be so enthralling?" Ruth Rendell, Guardian
"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.
