This novel is a major achievement, a moving, sensitively written read that is also entertaining. Abby is in her mid-twenties, lives in London, works as a journalist, and is bipolar. Despite her illness, she leads a fairly normal life with her boyfriend Beck—until one evening she finds her neighbor Simon dead in his apartment while just trying to borrow a can of tomatoes for dinner. To her own surprise, Abby is initially strangely unfazed by the event, but after that Wednesday evening, the fragile balance of her life begins to wobble more and more, and Abby seems unable to do anything about it... A compassionate, witty, and original novel about the fine line between what we call "normal" and what we do not.
