Descriere

A perfectly-crafted, funny and moving masterpiece about love, family, passion and whether or not one should play by the rules.

Friday: as a Test match between England and India begins, a woman's attention is torn between her husband's insistence on explaining the rules of cricket, her lover's preference for mystery, and the worrying disappearance of her sixteen-year-old stepson.

By Tuesday night the outcome of the match will become clear - but whatever happens, the lives of the players will be changed forever.

24 for 3 is a funny and moving story about love, family, and whether or not one should always play by the rules.

 


Recenzii

'24 for 3 contains some of the tightest, cleanest writing I have seen in a long time ... This is a little marvel. It's funny, clever, illuminating, deeply kind-hearted and it doesn't overstay its welcome. It's not self-indulgent: things happen in it, surprising things, like in an old-fashioned novel, yet it's perfectly contemporary; and every word has been chosen with subtle care.'
'A gem'
'Very original ... I loved it'
'A lovely little novel ... 24 for 3 is written with beguiling simplicity, and the small wisdoms it offers up are readily accessible to readers who have never been able to make head or tail of cricket'
