Marcus is twelve. Will is thirty-six. Why can't they both act their age? In his second novel, Nick Hornby explores the connections people make when the so-called ideal family model does not apply.
 
As he did with football in Fever Pitch and with record collections in High Fidelity, he keeps his eye on the subject while revealing much more - always cutting through received rubbish with a singular sense of purpose. And in the process, he connects with a huge number of people who find his view of the world funny, wise and disarmingly entertaining.
