Andy Larkin is late. He is due at the funeral of his favourite schoolteacher, who once told him: "It's hard work being anyone". It's especially hard for Andy - stuck in a dead-end job, terminally short of cash and with a fiancee who is about to ditch him. When the funeral leads to an unexpected fortune, Andy has to ask himself: how far will he go to change his life?
From early-20th-century Turkey to modern-day London, Nicholas Shakespeare takes us on an extraordinary journey that explores the temptations of unanticipated wealth, the secrets of damaged families and the price of being true to oneself. At once a love story spanning many decades and a tragedy of betrayal and missed opportunities.

Review:
"One of our best and truest novelists" * The Times * "Enviably good" -- Louis de Bernieres * Sunday Times * "Thoughtful and beautifully observed... Never predictable, this novel combines a remarkable narrative force with the lightest of touches. A book to savour and pass on" * The Economist * "Utterly absorbing and enjoyable...a romance which moves with assurance from wild improbability to a reconciliation with things as they may truly be" * Scotsman * "Completely riveting and very funny indeed. Shakespeare at his empathetic best, as he mines the fragile seam of our desire to be loved for who we are" * Sunday Telegraph *
