Freuen Sie sich auf den neuen Roman von Stephen Fry. Respektlos und unterhaltsam wie immer! 1978 scheint Neds Glücksjahr zu werden. Er sieht gut aus, ist beliebt und Kapitän des Cricketteams. Als er Portia Fendeman begegnet, scheint sein Leben perfekt. Doch des einen Glück ist des anderen Neid... Zwanzig Jahre später ist er wieder in London. Aus dem smarten Ned, dem Idealisten vergangener Tage, ist ein Besessener geworden. Er will Rache um jeden Preis.
Ned Maddstone has the world at his feet. Handsome, charming, popular and talented, his life is progressing smoothly, effortlessly, happily.
But an unfortunate confrontation with a boy in his school results in a prank that goes badly wrong and suddenly he's incarcerated - without chance of release. So begins a year-long process of torment and hopelessness, which will destroy his very identity, until almost nothing remains of him but this unquenchable desire for revenge.
'Whatever Stephen Fry does, he has it - that rare, unlearnable quality. When he speaks you listen. When he writes, you read' Literary Review
'Keeps you simultaneously gripped and chuckling throughout' Later
