- Summary
- "Xavier Ireland is the assumed name of a radio-show host with a devoted following of listeners riveted by the sleepless loners who call in throughout the night to seek his advice. Off the air, he leads a low-key life of avoiding his neighbors, playing Scrabble, and maintaining an awkward friendship with his cohost, Murray. But his life begins to change when he meets a cleaning lady named Pippa, who becomes a constant, surprisingly necessary presence in his life as he starts facing up to his past and discovering solace and redemption in the most unexpected places. British comedian Mark Watson{u2019}s North American debut humorously and poignantly explores life and death, strangers and friends, heartache and comfort, and whether the choices we don{u2019}t make affect us just as powerfully as the ones we do."--P. 4 of cover.
