That was all there was, all I could say, whether or not it was enough. ‘Weren’t we? Weren’t we having such a good time?’ The first collection of short stories from the author of The Original. A woman suffering an extreme allergic reaction to a yoga mat returns to the UK to give a reading at her estranged best friend’s wedding; a corporate new starter desperately tries to persuade her colleague to accept that his online girlfriend doesn’t exist; a group of student activists stage an artful protest against the demolition of a tower block; a once inseparable friendship group confront the reason they drifted; and a self-taught pianist whose wife is six months pregnant decides she must travel to Warsaw to listen to Chopin’s heart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn The Good Time, Nell Stevens introduces us to characters teetering on the edge of self-knowledge, unveiling the complexities of their inner worlds with empathy and humour. Wry, precise and full of wisdom, these stories ask what it means to have a good time, and what happens when the good times end. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcade Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57387012686201,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/0124\/1465\/files\/good_20c5dc27-1655-4936-803b-862fd5ca2640.jpg?v=1780657800","url":"https:\/\/arcadebookshop.com\/products\/the-good-time-nell-stevens-pre-order-for-publication-13th-august","provider":"Arcade Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
