In this Book, the small town of Bridgeford is in need of help. Amongst Businesses closing down, Commuters rushing to work and Neighbours who don´t talk to each other, Bridgeford has lost its Way. Community Spirit is in low supply, but there is one thing that may be able to salvage the town : the Bridgeford Community Choir and their run at the County Championship.
Many Commuters who live in Bridgeford never see it, leaving and arriving in the dark, like Bennett, newly Unemployed and separated from his Wife; and Tracey, a bracingly Blunt Heroine, living beneath a Carapace of 'half-hearted, eye-rolling, lip-curling surliness', who listens to rock with her Son but has a Hidden Stash of Carpenters Cassettes and a Secret Past. Or Annie, a Pillar of the Community, whose Empty Nest is driving her a little bit crazy....

Gill Hornby said years ago in an Interview for The Guardian 'Everyone asks me whether I've been in their shadow (her Brother and her Husband) all these years and the truth is I've been living my life and it never felt that way. The only thing is, they have both had exceptionally strong careers, so it would have been humiliating if I'd written a book and failed to sell it. But I've managed to get people interested, and that's nice. In any event, we're not on the same territory.'... All is said !
