One day, out of the blue, Henry Nagel receives a solicitor's letter telling him he has inherited a sumptuous apartment in St John's Wood. Divine intervention? Or his late father's love-nest? Henry doesn't know, but he's glad to escape the North, where there is nothing and no one to keep him. After nearly sixty years of angry disappointment, Henry's life is about to change. But the ghosts of Henry's past are not prepared to disappear without a struggle...
Evening Standard
“...terrific novel, full of pert observations and salty insights into the ageing process - not just Henry's, but the world's.”
Sunday Telegraph
“The cleverest, funniest, sharpest writer we have.”
