<b>“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. <i>A Long Way Down</i> is the story of what happens next, and of what doesn’t.”  —<i><b>The New York Times Book Review</b></i><br><br>A wise, affecting novel from the beloved, award-winning author of<i> Dickens and Prince</i>, <i>Funny Girl </i>and<i> High Fidelity</i></b><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.
