Book Hero thinking about your next read

Annie lives in a dull town on England's bleak east coast and is in a relationship with Duncan which mirrors the place. Tucker was once a brilliant songwriter and performer, who's gone into seclusion in rural America - or at least that's what his fans think.

Hilarious and tender, Juliet, Naked will move you in ways both profound and surprising. It is Nick Hornby at his brilliant best.

Relationships, rock stars and last chances - the dazzling bestseller by the author of High Fidelity.

In 1986, legendary musician Tucker Crowe disappeared from the public eye and for 20 years, his rabid fans have speculated his whereabouts.

Annie lives in Gooleness, the north's answer to a question nobody asked, and has put fifteen years into a safe relationship with one such "Crowe-ologist", Duncan. And she wants her money back, please.

Then Tucker releases new material. Duncan thinks it's genius, Annie does not, and when she dares to go public with her dislike, there are unexpected, life-changing consequences for all three . . .
