Juliet, Naked




Relationships, rock stars and last chances - the dazzling bestseller by the author of High Fidelity

In 1986, legendary musician Tucker Crowe disappeared from the public eye and for 20 years, his rabid fans have speculated his whereabouts.

Annie lives in Gooleness, the north's answer to a question nobody asked, and has put fifteen years into a safe relationship with one such "Crowe-ologist", Duncan. And she wants her money back, please.

Then Tucker releases new material. Duncan thinks it's genius, Annie does not, and when she dares to go public with her dislike, there are unexpected, life-changing consequences for all three . . .

Praise for Juliet, Naked

Juliet, Naked is ingenious, funny and moving

Daily Mail

A comic delight. In Juliet, Naked the author once again deftly but affectionately anatomizes the foibles of flawed men and women

Evening Standard

Sharp, funny, touching . . . Nick Hornby's triumph is to find infinite amounts of warmth and humour in this seeming world of desolation

Daily Telegraph

A wonderfully assured writer

Sunday Times

Very funny and astutely observed

New Statesman
