Beschreibung
Imagine you knew exactly when you were going to die… Robin Edmund Blake is halfway through his life. Born in 1986, when Halley's Comet crossed the sky, he is destined to go out with it, when it returns in 2061. Until that day, he can't die. He has proof. With his future mapped out in minute detail, a lucrative but increasingly dull job in the City of London, and Gemma to share his life with, Robin has a plan to be remembered forever. But when Robin's sick father has one accident too many, the plan starts to unravel. Robin must return home to the tiny seaside town of Eastgate, learn to care for the man who never really cared for him, and face the childhood ghosts he fled decades ago. Desperate to get his life back on schedule, he connects with fellow outsider Astrid. Brutally direct, sharp-witted and a professor at a nearby university, she's unlike anyone he's ever met. But Astrid is hiding something and someone from Robin and he's hiding even more from her. A warmly funny, poignant and exquisite novel about coming home and letting go, Happy Is the One asks what is truly important in a chaotic, unpredictable world…
