Relationships, rock stars and last chances - the new bestseller by the author of High Fidelity. Annie's put fifteen years into safe, slightly obsessive Duncan, and now she'd like her money back, please. It's time to move on. But she lives in Gooleness, the north's answer to a question nobody asked. Is she really going to find real, proper, feel-it-deep-down-in-your-boots love on a damp and windy sea-front? Or perhaps she should follow her heart and pursue Tucker, the reclusive American rock star, who keeps emailing her his smart advice. But between Annie and her second chance lie a few obstacles. There's Malcolm the world's most judgmental…

Nick Hornby returns to his roots-music and messy relationships-in this funny and touching new novel which thoughtfully and sympathetically looks at how lives can be wasted but how they are never beyond redemption. Annie lives in a dull town on England's bleak east coast and is in a relationship with Duncan which mirrors the place; Tucker was once a brilliant songwriter and performer, who's gone into seclusion in rural America-or at least that's what his fans think. Duncan is obsessed with Tucker's work, to the point of derangement, and when Annie dares to go public on her dislike of his latest album, there are quite unexpected, life-changing…

Ник Хорнби - современный английский писатель, который уже давно приобрел статус культового. Первый же роман Хорнби "Футбольная горячка" (1992) был отмечен престижной премией Уильяма Хилла. В 1995 году вышел роман "Hi-Fi", а через три года - "Мой мальчик". Оба они вскоре бьии экранизированы. В 1999 году писатель был удостоен премии Э.М.Фостера от Американской академии искусств и словесности. По мнению критиков, Хорнби - тот редкий автор, прозу которого можно одновременно назвать остроумной, легкой и интеллектуальной. "Голая Джульетта" - это смешной и трогательный роман взросления. Дун кан и Энни разменяли третий десяток, но на взрослых людей…

Бывшая учительница Энни заведует заштатным местным музеем в приморском городишке. И все бы ничего, но жизнь будто утекает сквозь пальцы: детей у Энни так и нет, единственным развлечением служат еженедельные сеансы у чопорного старичка психоаналитика, а ее бойфренд Дункан - хорош бойфренд, когда обоим уже под сорок! - больше интересуется забытым рок-кумиром 80-х Такером Кроу. Но однажды к Энни попадает новый альбом Кроу "Голая Джульетта".

Annie loves Duncan — or thinks she does. Duncan loves Annie, but then, all of a sudden, he doesn’t. Duncan really loves Tucker Crowe, a reclusive Dylanish singer-songwriter who stopped making music ten years ago. Annie stops loving Duncan, and starts getting her own life. In doing so, she initiates an e-mail correspondence with Tucker, and a connection is forged between two lonely people who are looking for more out of what they’ve got. Tucker’s been languishing (and he’s unnervingly aware of it), living in rural Pennsylvania with what he sees as his one hope for redemption amid a life of emotional and artistic ruin — his young son,…
