London and the South East |
Paul Rainey commutes from Hove to his increasingly meaningless job in telesales, where he and his colleagues drink their way through the week and dream of success. A chance offer seems to be the answer to all his problems but in the end he is forced to confront himself. The almost farcical romp to the end of the book is exhilarating and entertaining as he tries to save his marriage and his dignity. Excellent.
