On a cold New Year's Eve in London, four very different people meet on the 15th floor of Toppers Tower, a notorious suicide location. You could not imagine a more diverse group - a middle aged TV presenter who has lost his family, job and self-respect; a single mother with a severely disabled teenage son; eighteen year old Jess who seems determined to self-destruct; and an American rock 'n roll musician whose band and girlfriend have deserted him. They decide to postpone the moment and go in search of Jess's no-good boyfriend, since this is all she wants to make her life worth persevering with. The gradual building of fragile trust and hope is fascinating, funny and moving.---- reviewed by Lesley
I'm working on a few changes with the library website and one of the things I'd like to include are members book reviews. Just wondering, would you read a review blog/wiki and send in some reviews? Please send me a comment...cheers, Maryanne
