Description

Friends, family, workmates. The woman you see at the bus stop every morning; the man who reaches for the last newspaper just before you get to it. Everyone you meet, and some you nearly meet, will have an impact on the way your day goes. Small World is the story of a group of men and women, living and working in a city, who are connected through love, work, friendship, or simply by virtue of proximity. We connect with the hearts and minds of characters including an all-coping housewife, a stressed out working mother, a put-upon nanny, a long-suffering journalist, an Indian waiter who dreams of stardom, a grieving shop assistant, a stand-up comic and a psychotic policeman – all of whom speak directly to us about their innermost thoughts, fears and desires in a series of interwoven first-person narratives.

About The Author

Matt Beaumont drives a black BMW 728i, which gives him a carbon footprint slightly bigger than an extra-big clown shoe. He's trying to sell his Saab 9-3 (convertible, S reg, full service history, low mileage, excellent condition – OK, a few weeny parking scuffs). If you're interested, you should get in touch with him via his website: http://www.LetsTalkAboutMe.com

A page-turner and a triumph…this book makes Beaumont's position as one of Britain's best comedy writers more permanent

Other text

An involving drama with an unexpectedly dramatic climax…this has an ingeniously constructed plot and real emotional heft
