Read by Colin Buchanan

Maxwell Sim seems to have hit rock bottom. Estranged from his father, newly divorced,
unable to communicate with his only daughter, he realizes that while he may have
seventy-four friends on Facebook, there is nobody in the world with whom he can
actually share his problems. Then a business proposition comes his way . a strange
exercise in corporate PR that will require him to spend a week driving from London to
a remote retail outlet on the Shetland Isles. Setting out with an open mind, good
intentions and a friendly voice on his SatNav for company, Maxwell finds that this
journey soon takes a more serious turn, and carries him not only to the furthest point
of the United Kingdom, but into some of the deepest and darkest corners of his own past.
In his sparkling and hugely enjoyable new book Jonathan Coe reinvents the picaresque
novel for our time.
