Worth
Description:... For Richard and Sarah, leaving the rat-race of London for the sleepy village of Worth feels like a dream come true. But their new life isn't quite as idyllic as it first seems. The cottage is tiny and the neighbours are excruciating. Soon they find themselves reverse-commuting back to London on the weekends, just to be with people they like. Then Catherine moves in next door. Smart, sophisticated, beautiful Catherine seems like the answer to their prayers. But will their new best friend turn out to be their enemy?
'Hilarious... Smart, confident and, in places, eye-wateringly upfront' Sunday Times
'Brilliantly good - so precise and well-observed and witty, and also one of the few books I've ever read that manages to be both tense and funny' Craig Brown
'Powered by Jon Canter's sharp and original wit and his constantly fizzing prose, Worth sets off at a lick and keeps up the pace. An acute and very funny novel about the perils of rural life and of falling a little bit in love with your next-door neighbour' Daily Mail
