“One New Year’s Eve, four people with very different reasons but a common purpose find their way to the top of a fifteen-story building in London. None of them has calculated that, on a date humans favor for acts of significance, in a place known as a local suicide-jumpers’ favorite, they might encounter company. A Long Way Down is the story of what happens next, and of what doesn’t.” —The New York Times Book Review<br/><br/>A wise, affecting novel from the beloved, award-winning author of Dickens and Prince, Funny Girl and High Fidelity<br/><br/>Nick Hornby mines the hearts and psyches of four lost souls who connect just when they’ve reached the end of the line.<br/><br/>In four distinct and riveting first-person voices, Hornby tells a story of four individuals confronting the limits of choice, circumstance, and their own mortality. This is a tale of connections made and missed, punishing regrets, and the grace of second chances.
