Description
A directionless man. A useless father. A final chance...
John Slade still dreams of fame and fortune. The reality is that John is in his forties, working as a postman, and his covers band hasn't played a gig in months.
Busy being lazy and behaving recklessly, John has never really had a relationship with his daughter, having not been there for half of her life. But he's about to find out that she's moving halfway around the world.
With only a month left to form a bond with Ella before she leaves, John suggests that they go on a trip together. When she surprisingly agrees, John is given one last opportunity to prove to that he is capable of being a responsible adult. Which might be a problem...
Chaotic, anarchic, and packed with laugh out loud moments, The Shame of John Slade is a different kind of coming-of-age story, proving that it might not only be children who need to grow up. Perfect for fans of Nick Hornby, David Nicholls and Nina Stibbe.
