Krátky popis
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2016 MAN BOOKER PRIZEA good man in a bad world,
Jon Sigurdsson is 59 and divorced: a senior civil servant in
Westminster who hates many of his colleagues and loathes his work
for a government engaged in unmentionable acts. A man of
conscience.Meg Williams is ‘a bankrupt accountant – two words you
don’t want in the same sentence, or anywhere near your CV’. She’s
45 and shakily sober, living on Telegraph Hill, where she can see
London unfurl below her. Somewhere out there is safety.Somewhere
out there is Jon, pinballing around the city with a mobile phone
and a letter-writing habit he can’t break. He’s a man on the brink,
leaking government secrets and affection as he runs for his life.
Set in 2014, this is a novel of our times. Poignant, deeply funny,
and beautifully written, Serious Sweet is about two decent, damaged
people trying to make moral choices in an immoral world: ready to
sacrifice what’s left of themselves for honesty, and for a chance
at tenderness. As Jon and Meg navigate the sweet and serious heart
of London – passing through 24 hours that will change them both for
ever – they tell a very unusual, unbearably moving love story.
