Tutta un'altra musica: Ci sono coppie in perenne calma piatta. Annie e Duncan lo sanno bene. Convivono da quindici anni e la loro esistenza è scandita da qualche lettura in comune, l'uscita di un nuovo film, ogni tanto un concerto. Ma se da un po' di tempo lei prova un impellente desiderio di maternità, lui non fa altro che coltivare la sua unica, ossessiva passione: Tucker Crowe, cantante cult americano sparito dalla scena musicale negli anni Ottanta. Quando una versione inedita del suo album più famoso arriva per posta, la vita di Duncan e Annie prende una piega inaspettata... Nel segno del binomio amore e musica, l'autore di Alta fedeltà racconta con leggerezza istrionica e originalità le grandi questioni della vita.
There are couples in enduring calm. Annie and Duncan they know it. Live from fifteen to Gooleness, torpid English town on the sea, and their existence is marked by some reading in common, the release of a new film, every so often a concert in London. Do not have children and neither are likely to have, given the Evanescence of their sex lives. But for a while Annie feels a compelling desire for motherhood, while Duncan does is to cultivate its unique, obsessive passion: Tucker Crowe, cult American singer disappeared from the music scene in the mid-1980s. The veneration for Tucker, shared over the Internet from hundreds of followers around the world, soaking up every moment of her days; and Annie begins to wonder what sense it makes to continue a relationship that maybe it was just a waste of time. In this quietness immovably, Duncan arrives by post an edited version of the album's most famous Tucker. Is the spark that triggers a series of unexpected events, which will bring the unsatisfied Annie about Tucker in person ... Nick Hornby's new novel unfolds under the combination of love and music, but also unexpectedly, original, captures the theme of creativity and its ups and downs, embodied by this former penniless musician in perpetual crisis, Titanic example of failed sentimental .
