At the age of fifty, Willy Muller is a veteran of suffering and disaster. He has survived imprisonment for murdering his wife, years of venomous hate mail from the British public, and, most recently, the suicide of his daughter, Sadie. Willy wants a rest. But he's not going to get one. While recuperating from a heart attack in a bad-taste villa with his magnificently silly girlfriend Penny and his vodka-drenched friend Harry, he finds himself drawn into the lonely world of his late daughter's diaries, and reluctantly forced to confront the troubling secrets that lie buried in his past. By turns excoriatingly witty and achingly sad, Zoe Heller's novel marks the debut of a strikingly original literary talent.
