From Sunday Times bestselling author Anne Tyler, a novel about first love, dangerous obsession and unintended consequences.

'Anne Tyler really is the best' GRAHAM NORTON

Evie Decker is used to being invisible. Then, one night, she hears a voice on the radio that compels her to commit an act that will change her quiet, small-town life.

Magnetic singer Bertram 'Drumstrings' Casey can't ignore her now - but will marriage to a rockstar really be everything that Evie dreamed of?

Raw and poignant, with the quiet observational power that has brought millions of readers to Anne Tyler, A Slipping Down Life is a story of loneliness, desire and the fragile line between fantasy and reality.
