📱 eBook en inglés THIS IS THE LIFE

The debut novel from Joseph ONeill, 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 solicitors firm, a steady girlfriend and a steady mortgage. Nothing much is happening in Joness life but he really doesnt mind – this is exactly the way he likes it.
Michael Donovan, meanwhile, is a star – a world-class international lawyer and advocate – hes everything Jones wanted to be and isnt. Jones was once Donovans 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 ONeills debut is wonderfully clever and comic novel – about ambitions and aspirations and the realities that they inevitably collide with.
