The debut novel from Joseph O'Neill, author of the Man Booker Prize longlisted and Richard & Judy pick, Netherland. James Jones is slipping steadily through life. He has a steady job as a junior partner at a solicitor's firm, a steady girlfriend and a steady mortgage. Nothing much is happening in Jones's life but he really doesn't mind this is exactly the way he likes it. Michael Donovan, meanwhile, is a star a world-class international lawyer and advocate he's everything Jones wanted to be and isn't. Jones was once Donovan's pupil and, for a while, it looked like he too would make his name but he left that high-powered world behind a long time ago, or so he thought. One day Jones reads in the paper that Donovan has collapsed in court then, out of the blue, Donovan contacts him; he has a job he needs Jones to work on Joseph O'Neill's debut is wonderfully clever and comic novel about ambitions and aspirations and the realities that they inevitably collide with.
