Publisher's Synopsis
Out of the blue, Henry Nagel receives a solicitor's letter telling him he has inherited a sumptuous apartment in St John's Wood. Divine intervention? Or his late father's love nest? Henry doesn't know, but he is glad to escape his solitary life in the North. Henry's new life is full of surprises as he finds himself making friends with his neighbour and falling in love with a waitress. Yet even as this unfolds, Henry cannot stop obsessing about his past life, envying his childhood friend turned Hollywood star and talking to his dead father. Eventually Henry realises that, despite his reservations, his new life might just be the making of him.
