Riassunto

Jay is leaving his partner and their two sons. As the long night before his departure unfolds he remembers the ups and downs of his relationship with Susan. In an unforgettable, and often pitiless, reflection of their time together he analyses the agonies and the joys of trying to make a life with another person. Hanif Kureishi's brilliant new novel is every bit as compelling as the work for which he is renowned, including The Buddha of Suburbia and My Beautiful Laundrette, but with a seriousness and depth that marks the subtle maturity of one of the most important writers of our time.
