About this Item

Signed, first edition. Dust jacket in near fine condition, not price clipped or faded, some minimal bumping to the edges especially around the spine. Book in near fine condition no spine lean, some minimal bumping to the edges of the spine, boards clean, text block and pages clean. Narrated in turns by a dowdy, middle-aged woman, a half-crazed adolescent, a disgraced breakfast TV presenter and an American rock star cum pizza delivery boy, A Long Way Down is the story of the Toppers House Four, aka Maureen, Jess, Martin and JJ. A low-rent crowd with absolutely nothing in common - save where they end up that New Year's Eve night. And what they do next, of course.Funny, sad, and wonderfully humane, Nick Hornby's new novel asks some of the big questions: about life and death, strangers and friendship, love and pain, and whether a slice of pizza can really see you through a long, dark night of the soul.
