It is the story of a British couple who has been together for years, probably out of laziness. It’s the story of a singer who was once famous, then decided to stop singing, and years later is trying to figure out where his life has gone, and how to make something out of the time he still has to live.
The two stories intersect, and what comes out is a funny and witty novel. I liked the fact that every character (even the minor ones) is so well described, that one cannot like a little each of them (even supponent Duncan), that it talks about music, about life, about purpose, without becoming philosophical.
It is probably the book I enjoyed the most from Hornby. It goes on lightly, but makes you think.
