From Matthew Quick, the bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook.
'Original, compelling, uplifiting' Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project.

Bartholomew Neil is thirty-nine and lost.
After the death of his beloved mum he has no idea how to be on his own, and he knows it's about time he found his flock.

But how does a man whose whole life has been grounded learn how to fly?
And what can Richard Gere, a beautiful librarian, a struggling priest and a foul-mouthed and troubled young man teach Bartholomew about finding love and happiness?

Whatever it is, Bartholomew is in for a lot more than he bargained for . . .

'The Good Luck of Right Now is original, compelling, and uplifting . . . His writing is shot through with wit and humanity' Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project

Review:
Original, compelling, uplifting. Quick celebrates the power of ordinary, flawed human beings to rescue themselves and each other. His writing is shot through with wit and humanity and an ultimately optimistic view of people, without ever becoming sentimental. (Graeme Simsion, author of THE ROSIE PROJECT)

Funny, touching, wise, and ultimately life-affirming . . . If you loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, this book is for you. (Garth Stein, author of THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN)

I loved this novel from its quirky and unconventional opening to its poignant, tear-inducing conclusion. (Wally Lamb, author of I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE)

This book channels the same screwball sad sweetness we loved so much in The Silver Linings Playbook. (GQ)

A bildungsroman that charts an adventurous road-trip from Philadelphia to Canada, in a rented Ford Focus. Bartholomew, unemployed and friendless, meets an eccentric rabble along the way (including a troubled grief counsellor, an alcoholic priest and a love-interest librarian), who go some way to resolving his issues . . . a tender tale that manages to be both light-hearted and philosophical. (Financial Times)

Quick writes with an engaging intimacy, capturing his narrator's innocence and off-kilter philosophy, and the damaged souls in orbit around him (Publishers Weekly)

Had my gripped and at times welling up (Stylist)
