Hornby's fourth novel. Shortlisted for the 2005 Whitbread Award and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. Winner of the 1999 E. M. Forster Award. Four would-be suicides whose paths converge on the roof of a North London tower block on a New Year's Eve. Adapted for the big screen in 2014 by Magnolia Pictures, with Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Aaron Paul, and Imogen Poots. "Hornby's best novel to date, impossible to put down. [H]ow can an examination of four people's anguish be so enthralling?" –Ruth Rendell, Guardian
