For Richard and Sarah, leaving the rat-race of London for the sleepy village of Worth feels like a dream come true. But their new life isn’t quite as idyllic as it first seems. The cottage is tiny and the neighbours are excruciating. Soon they find themselves reverse-commuting back to London on the weekends, just to be with people they like. Then Catherine moves in next door. Smart, sophisticated, beautiful Catherine seems like the answer to their prayers. But will their new best friend turn out to be their enemy?

Recensione:
"He is arguably the finest comic novelist working in Britain today. Indeed, he may just be the finest comic anything working in Britain right now... Canter's prose is achingly funny...it is also vital, acute, literary and oddly moving." (James Kidd Independent)
"Brilliantly good - so precise and well-observed and witty, and also one of the few books I've ever read that manages to be both tense and funny" (Craig Brown)
"Hilarious... Smart, confident and, in places, eye wateringly upfront" (Elizabeth Buchan Sunday Times)
"Powered by Jon Canter's sharp and original wit and his constantly fizzing prose...an acute and very funny novel about the perils of rural life and of falling a little bit in love with your next-door neighbour" (Daily Mail)
"As an advertisement for either urban or rural living among self-satisfied characters, Worth is a toe-curling horror story; as a cheeky and well-directed poke in said characters' eyes, it's a winner" (Independent on Sunday)

Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: new. A fast-paced, wildly entertaining, and blackly comic novel about the perils of loving your neighborFor Richard and Sarah, leaving the rat-race of London for the sleepy village of Worth feels like a dream come true. But their new life isn't quite as idyllic as it at first seems. The cottage is tiny, the neighbors are racist, and they find themselves reverse-commuting back to London on the weekends. And then Catherine moves next door and it's love at first sight. Smart, sophisticated Catherine, with her good wine, her foreign travel and-well-her London ways. But there are things about Catherine that don't quite add up-topics avoided, questions unanswered. She describes a manipulative but never-seen sister, who she says is making her life hell. Richard and Sarah offer advice as best they can, but they are starting to feel uneasy. The rural idyll is beginning to fade. Before long Richard and Sarah realize that rather than being the answer to their prayers, Catherine might in fact be quite the opposite. Codice articolo DADAX0099546825
