A Long Way Down
Nick Hornby
Four strangers, each at their lowest point, meet on the roof of a London building on New Year's Eve, all contemplating the same drastic decision. Through the perspectives of Martin, JJ, Jess, and Maureen, Nick Hornby's novel delves into the themes of choice, circumstance, and mortality. A Long Way Down explores the human connections that can be made or missed, the weight of punishing regrets, and the rare gift of second chances. This novel about suicide is intense, hilarious, provoking, and moving all at once, and one that is surprisingly full of life.
