Meet Martin, JJ, Jess, and Maureen. Four people who come
together on New Year's Eve: a former TV talk show host, a
musician, a teenage girl, and a mother. Three are British,
one is American. They encounter one another on the roof of
Topper's House, a London destination famous as the last
stop for those ready to end their lives.
In four distinct and riveting first-person voices, Nick
Hornby tells a story of four individuals confronting the
limits of choice, circumstance, and their own mortality.
This is a tale of connections made and missed, punishing
regrets, and the grace of second chances.
Intense, hilarious, provocative, and moving, A Long Way
Down is a novel about suicide that is, surprisingly, full
of life.
