Publisher Description
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING ETHAN HAWKE AND ROSE BYRNE
From the beloved New York Times bestselling author, a quintessential Nick Hornby tale of music, superfandom, and the truths and lies we tell ourselves about life and love.
Annie finds herself caught in the web of a relationship with Duncan, who adores Tucker Crowe, a reclusive singer-songwriter who vanished from the music scene years ago. As Annie's love for Duncan fades, an unexpected email correspondence with Tucker sparks a connection between two searching souls.
What happens when a washed-up musician looks for another chance? And miles away, a restless, childless woman looks for a change? Juliet, Naked is a powerfully engrossing, humblingly humorous novel about music, love, loneliness, and the struggle to live up to one’s promise.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If there’s one thing Nick Hornby loves as much as music, it’s zealous music fans. The characters in this novel are cut from the same cloth as those in High Fidelity, but now they have the internet to unite them. In a dreary English seaside town, a love triangle emerges between a pseudo-intellectual obsessed with a reclusive musician, his fed-up girlfriend, and the aging rocker himself. Despite wistfully addressing themes of aging and life slipping through your fingers—and a run-down, windswept setting—Juliet, Naked is a fun read. We think Ethan Hawke is perfect for the movie version of Hornby’s rocker protagonist, Tucker Crowe.
