Elle'I was totally invested.' Saba Sams'I was utterly enthralled.' Leslie Jamison 'Jem Calder is my new favourite writer.' Andrew O'Hagan'Will appeal to Cleopatra And Frankenstein fans, and the setting and themes is reminiscent of Evenings And Weekends.' StylistChuck and Joey meet in a bar. He's in his mid-thirties; she's twelve years younger. He's long abandoned his ambition of becoming a novelist and now works as a copywriter at a big ad agency. 'Lead copywriter,' he corrects himself.
