Publisher's Synopsis
Businessman, son, husband, lover, father, Martin Prendergast stands high up on an office ledge. He falls - perhaps physically, perhaps only mentally as yet. As he falls, he sees from various surreally appearing vantage points (such as a cliff, a slippery pole, a ceiling) scenes from his life unfolding in reverse order, a chronology reported in a minority of near-death experiences (to quote his mother, 'he always did do everything arse-over-elbow'). This two-directional book was written to be read from chapter 27 to chapter 0, and/or from chapter 0 to chapter 27.
