Book description
Everything You Know
is the first novel from the bestselling author of Notes on a
Scandal, Zoe Heller.
The women in Willy Muller's life are trouble.
His mother insists he eat tofu. His dopey girlfriend, Penny, wants
him to overcome his personal space issues - while Karen, his other,
even dopier, girlfriend, just wants more sex. Meanwhile, his oldest
daughter, Sophie, wants him to finance her husband's drug habit.
But it's his youngest daughter, Sadie, who's giving him the biggest
headache. Just before committing suicide three months ago, she sent
Willy her diaries. Poring over the record of her empty life, he feels
pangs of something unexpected . . . remorse. But isn't it a bit late
for such sentimental guff?
Set in London, Hollywood and Mexico, Everything You Know is a
supremely witty take on love, death and the age-old battle of the sexes.
