Life and How to Live It

0/5 ( ratings)

"We start playing and one by one, they fall silent. And they're speechless. They're in awe. And by the end of our set there's people crying, doubled over, lying in the mud. We go off stage and these people get up, silently pack up their tents and go back to their lives, changed forever. They become better people, we save them..."

Reilly and Jacob are Serpico... the most misunderstood and, until now, most unproductive band in Bristol. Things change when, on a whim, Reilly takes a weeklong sickie and in an alcoholic binge, writes would could just be the greatest album of all time...

A meditation on the nature of ambition, the creative process and the battle between pragmatism and idealism that shapes art and life, this is a stunning debut novel from an exceptional new talent.

"A gripping, funny ride through the exhilerating highs and brutal lows of the quest for musical perfection and fame. A book filled with characters that jump off the page and writing so vivid you hear the guitars, taste the hangovers and live every emotion." - Laura Roychowdhury, 'The Jadu House'
