From the highly-acclaimed author of SMALL PLEASURES - longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2021 On the brink of forty, newly single with a failed business, Philip thought he'd reached an all-time low. It only needed a discarded chip on a South London street to lay him literally flat. So, bedbound and bored, Philip naturally starts to write the story of his life.

Even, perhaps, a happy ending... Praise for Clare Chambers: 'Smart, astute, and very funny' Daily Mail 'Gorgeous... If you're looking for something escapist and bittersweet, I could not recommend more' Pandora Sykes on SMALL PLEASURES 'Chambers' eye for undemonstrative details achieves a Larkin-esque lucidity' Guardian 'A funny and moving story with a great deal of style' Daily Express
