Description

On the brink of 40, newly single with a failed business, Philip thought he'd reached an all-time low. It only needed a discarded chip on a South London street to lay him literally flat. So, bedbound and bored, Philip writes the story of his life, only to reveal some comic and touching surprises.

Reviews

"A funny and moving story with a great deal of style."
--"Sunday Telegraph"
