In a busy maternity ward, first-time father Dan meets Jada, a dad welcoming his fifth – no, sixth? – child into the world. Dan and Jada come from very different places: both called Glasgow. Dan is a successful TV writer with a townhouse in the West End and a shiny Tesla ready to drive his wife and baby home. Jada is a hustling, small-time criminal who is already planning how to separate Dan from some of the luxuries Jada has never been able to enjoy in his tiny flat in a Brutalist sixties council block.

Both men find that the birth of their sons has fired their ambitions. Dan plans to walk away from his saccharine TV success and finally knuckle down to writing that novel he always felt he had in him. While, for Jada, it’s the opportunity for one last get-rich-quick scheme – ripping off a local airport. When a tragedy occurs, their worlds are brought closer than either could ever have imagined – close enough that it could mean destruction for both of them . . Narrativa di genere Urbana Vita in città

Recensioni della critica

Praise for John Niven: 'Riotous and yet bracingly moving
The writing is first rate, without announcing how good it is
Niven is a tremendous storyteller
There's nothing faster, sadder or funnier than John Niven on men (CAITLIN MORAN)
Niven's writing is so buzzy and fresh, it's still wet on the page
Vivid, visceral, brilliantly funny in places, dispensing sharp punches to the gut in others
Probably the most exciting British writer working today (DANNY WALLACE)
