Two men meet by chance in the taxi queue outside Paddington Station one January night. Richard is in his mid-forties, apparently happily married, with two young children. Abe is young, and casually manipulative. The men share a taxi and, on impulse, Richard invites Abe into his home - an action that sends ripples not only through his own life and that of his wife, but also through the fragile existence of Abe's younger sister, Kirsty, who is herself unsure of the best way to settle down.

I couldn't resist this one either. I love the artwork, the cover and the format.
Let's hope what's inside is equally good :)) LOL

This book had a very Mc Ewan feel to it for me, but I like his 'storytelling' slightly better :))))
Quite a good read though !

Very nice cover and feeling in the hand.
