Annie and Duncan are a mid-thirties couple who have reached a fork in the road, realising their shared interest in the reclusive musician Tucker Crowe (in Duncan`s case, an obsession as well as an academic career) is not enough to hold them together any more. When Annie hates Tucker`s `new release`, a terrible demo of his most famous album, it`s the last straw - Duncan cheats on her and she promptly chucks him. Via an internet discussion forum, Annie`s harsh opinion reaches Tucker himself, who couldn`t agree more. He and Annie start an unlikely correspondence which teaches them both something about moving on from years of wasted time.
Nick Hornby`s compelling new novel, four years after A Long Way Down, is about the nature of creativity and obsession, and how two lonely people can gradually find each other.
