Like most, Vic - amoralist extraordinaire - can remember where he was and what he was doing on the day of Princess Diana's death: at home, beginning an affair with his best friend's wife. As things become more complex between the two, tragedy - this time real, local and small-scale - intervene.

About the Author:
David Baddiel co-created three of the most popular comedy programmes in BBC TV history - The Mary Whitehouse Experience, Newman and Baddiel In Pieces and Fantasy Football - and his stand-up comedy act is always a sell-out nationwide.
Review:
Baddiel's novel is hilariously un-PC and surprisingly tender...the ending will haunt you for days * WOMAN'S JOURNAL * A black, sometimes tender read ...An impressive and intelligent book from a novelist who deserves to be taken seriously * THE TIMES * Touching and strange and funny * Sam Mendes, Director of AMERICAN BEAUTY * I read it in one sitting with awe... a thriller and a love story constructed with a sinister symmetry where everything comic is shadowed by something dark * Chrissie Iley, SUNDAY TIMES *
