Juliet Naked - Nick Hornby


Jag gillar ju Nick Hornby och hans helt vanliga karaktärer, lite ordinära, småmisslyckade och inte sällan rätt oattraktiva personer och deras tämligen tråkiga liv. Men Naked Juliet tar inte tag i mig och det är inte någon särskilt intressant historia enligt min mening.

Adlibris säger så här:
Annie lives in a dull town on England's bleak east coast and is in a relationship with Duncan which mirrors the place; Tucker was once a brilliant songwriter and performer, who's gone into seclusion in rural America - or at least that's what his fans think. Duncan is obsessed with Tucker's work, to the point of derangement, and when Annie dares to go public on her dislike of his latest album, there are quite unexpected, life-changing consequences for all three. Nick Hornby uses this intriguing canvas to explore why it is we so often let the early promise of relationships, ambition and indeed life evaporate. And he comes to some surprisingly optimistic conclusions.
