Book Description: Similar to Nick Hornby’s Hi Fidelity, this is the story of an airline steward in his early 30s who seems to have the ideal life as he travels the world and parties wherever and whenever. Yet, there’s just one hitch. He doesn’t seem to be able to hold down a relationship.
Excerpt from the book: “I squeezed my eyes tightly shut, like a child pretending that the nasty monster isn’t really under the bed, but no amount of trying could rediscover the comfort of sleep. I had little choice but to reapply for admission to the land of the living. Very carefully, making sure not to expose ultra-sensitive eyes too much, I slowly blinked away the blurriness until I could make out my surroundings. This didn’t entirely work. It wasn’t surprising that confusion reigned supreme within my addled brain, given that it was New Year’s Day. Apart from the partially crushed beer cans littering the stained burgundy carpet like spent artillery shells, and the cigarette mountains rising from two stolen pub ashtrays, all that remained of the previous night were patchy memories. Worse still, each recollection had a tendency to fade the moment it appeared, leaving afterimages that were familiar yet undetermined; as if I had been just a remote observer of the revelry, and not a far too willing participant.”
About the Author: Jack Leonard was born in Clatterbridge on the Wirral. He decided from an early age that he was destined to fly airplanes, and worked as a steward before flying 747s as a commercial pilot since 1994. When he’s not flying the friendly skies or weathering storms, Jack lives a relaxing life with his wife in Staines.
