Sinossi
La notte di Capodanno, in cima a un palazzo di Londra, quattro sconosciuti si incontrano per caso: non hanno nulla in comune, tranne l’intenzione di buttarsi giù, ognuno per i suoi buoni motivi. Martin per la sua reputazione distrutta; Maureen per una vita impossibile passata accanto a un figlio disabile; Jess – la sboccatissima Jess – per una delusione amorosa; JJ per il suo fallimento professionale e personale. Ma l’incontro in quell’ultimo istante è destinato a cambiare la loro vita: dopo una discussione accesa e stralunata, i quattro aspiranti suicidi scendono dal tetto, ma per le scale, uniti da una complicità nuova e imprevedibile. Nick Hornby ci consegna un romanzo paradossale eppure straordinariamente credibile, divertente anche quando commuove, dove spiccano personaggi che brillano di quella magia del vero tanto presente nella sua narrativa.

I’ve been down, I don’t wanna say depressed. I don’t wanna use the term lightly. There are lots of people with real problems, people diagnosed with clinical depression but I’m not one of those. I’m just a university student with an unpredictable proclivity for melancholia. Sure, I’m a little bit mel Leggi tutto
I didn't get into Hornby for the same reason as everyone else, (they like Jon Cusak in High Fidelity). A Long Way Down was recommended to me by a friend and I needed a light read for the summer so I picked it up. I have never actually laughed out loud while reading a book until I read this one.

This book, as many others, is not for everyone. I can completely understand that many people find those characters annoying and the whole story pointless. Nevertheless I am of the opinion that this book can give you hope. Of course this seems to be a silly thing to say considering the topic and all
