Novel from the bestselling author of the Man Booker Prize-winning Hotel du Lac, in ebook for the first time

'The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won't be got rid of.'

Destined to be a haunter of libraries, Lewis's cautious progress through life reveals to him only his own shortcomings. Estranged from his wife and daughter, he searches for an alternative. This novel presents the life and aspirations of one man who remains out of step with his times.

Praise for Lewis Percy

How can anything be so funny and so sad both at once? Every sentence is an object lesson in compression and wit.

Tessa Hadley on 'A Start in Life', Guardian Summer Reads, 2015

'A searching study of innocence, and the limitations of innocence.'

London Review of Books

Elegant, nuanced; at times almost Jamesian in its convolution and subtlety.
