Empathy Problem

''You can''t put it down . . . precise and propulsive . . . a real page-turner'' Janice Forsyth Show, BBC Radio Scotland

''It''s so good it''ll leave you wanting to change your own life'' Independent

******************

So far in his life, Gabriel - selfish, arrogant and happy to be so - has only ever thought about two things: money and himself. When he''s diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour, he doesn''t see why anything should change.

But as the tumour grows, something strange starts happening. Whether Gabriel likes it or not, he''s becoming . . . nicer. Kinder. A better person.

And then he meets Caitlin. Before, he wouldn''t even have glanced at her; now he''s entranced. But real change takes time - and time is something Gabriel just doesn''t have.

As each day brings him closer to his last, has the one opportunity for a second chance passed him by?
