« "Absolutament meravellosa... Emocionant i absorbent". KATE MOSSE » Vint anys, dues persones, un dia. "Li va arrencar el cigarret de la boca. —T'imagino amb quaranta anys —va dir amb una mica de malícia—. Com si et veiés. Ell va somriure sense obrir els ulls. —A veure." L'Emma i en Dexter es coneixen la nit del 15 de Juliol de 1988 durant la seva festa de graduació a la universitat. Tenen vint anys, acaben de llicenciar-se i el futur sembla oferir-los totes les possibilitats que brinda el món a una parella jove. Malgrat que les diferències entre ells són nombroses, s'entenen de manera immeditata. En Dexter és de família acomodada, despreocupat i aficionat a les festes i les relacions d'una sola nit; però se sent atret per l'idealisme de l'Emma, un noia de classe treballadora, amant de la literatura i d'intel·ligència refinada. Tanmateix, aquell mateix estiu, en Dexter se'n va a recórrer Europa durant tot un any, mentre que l'Emma ha de romandre a Edimburg. Al llarg de vint anys, veurem com evoluciona aquesta història d'amor, les separacions i els alts i baixos, però també les retrobades i les alegries.

Londres, 2000. Réfléchissez bien… Mais si, ce visage, cette allure vous disent forcément quelque chose. Souvenez-vous, cet acteur au fond de l'écran, cet homme qui jouait le mort dans cette série hyperconnue, le fantôme qui passe sur la scène du théâtre ! C'est lui, Stephen McQueen ! Attention, toute ressemblance avec LE grand McQueen serait purement fortuite. Aujourd'hui, la vie de Stephen pourrait bien changer. Car ce père divorcé, abonné aux rôles mineurs et minables tient enfin l'occasion de bousculer son destin : Josh Harper, comédien que tout Londres s'arrache, et dont il est la doublure pour le cas où, vient de l'inviter à sa soirée en compagnie du gratin. Très vite, Stephen se rend compte qu'il n'est là que pour faire le service ! Hésitant entre la rébellion et le flegme qui le caractérise, il joue la stratégie : s'il parvient à obtenir la confiance de Josh, notamment en couvrant ses aventures, peut-être qu'un jour ce dernier lui offrira l'occasion de monter sur scène à sa place, de jouer enfin ce rôle pour lequel il répète inlassablement. Mais les lois du star-system ne souffrent aucune pitié, ni sentiment. Et quand Stephen réalise qu'il est tombé amoureux de la divine Nora, la femme de Josh, le plan de carrière semble une nouvelle fois bousculé !

The year is 1985 and Brian has just started his first term at university, armed with the obligatory CND membership and a complete set of Kate Bush albums. But he also has a dark secret - a long-held, burning ambition to appear on University Challenge and now, finally, it seems the dream is about to become reality. He's made the team, they've successfully completed the qualifying rounds and are limbering up for their first televised match in January. Surely it's only a matter of time before Brian is shaking hands with Bamber Gascoigne and holding aloft the silver-plated commemorative plaque? But Brian has a whole lot of living to do before then and when he falls in love with his team-mate, the off-puttingly posh Alice, he finds there's more than a spanner in the works...In Starter For Ten, David Nicholls has written a novel that will have you sniggering uncontrollably for days and leave you begging for more. Are you up to the challenge?

For Josh Harper, being in show-business means everything he ever wanted - money, fame, a beautiful wife, a lead role on the London stage. For Stephen C. McQueen, on the other hand, it means a disastrous career playing passers-by and dead people. He's stuck with an unfortunate name, a hopeless agent, a daughter he barely knows, and a job as understudy to Josh Harper, the 12th Sexiest Man in the World. And things get even more difficult when Stephen falls in love with Josh's clever, funny wife Nora. But might there yet be a way for Stephen to get his Big Break? The Understudy is a scintillating comedy of ambition, celebrity, jealousy and love.

Does your life feel like a dress rehearsal? Do you long to enter the limelight and steal the show?

Put yourself in the understudy's shoes and step on to the stage of life. With his trademark style and humour, David Nicholls reveals how some people are always cast as the underdog. But that doesn't necessarily mean they never get the girl does it?
