From the beloved New York Times- bestselling author, a
quintessential Nick Hornby tale of music, superfandom, and
the truths and lies we tell ourselves about life and love.
Annie loves Duncan-or thinks she does. Duncan loves Annie,
but then, all of a sudden, he doesn't. Duncan really loves
Tucker Crowe, a reclusive Dylanish singer-songwriter who
stopped making music ten years ago. Annie stops loving
Duncan, and starts getting her own life.
In doing so, she initiates an e-mail correspondence with
Tucker, and a connection is forged between two lonely people
who are looking for more out of what they've got. Tucker's
been languishing (and he's unnervingly aware of it), living
in rural Pennsylvania with what he sees as his one hope for
redemption amid a life of emotional and artistic ruin-his
young son, Jackson. But then there's also the new material
he's about to release to the world: an acoustic,
stripped-down version of his greatest album,
Juliet-entitled, Juliet, Naked.
What happens when a washed-up musician looks for another
chance? And miles away, a restless, childless woman looks
for a change? Juliet, Naked is a powerfully engrossing,
humblingly humorous novel about music, love, loneliness, and
the struggle to live up to one's promise.
