New from the author of the critically acclaimed The Privileges, and featured in Simon Mayo's Radio 2 Book Club and Waterstones Book Club. Helen's marriage falls asunder in a spectacularly humiliating, public manner. Thrust into a future that feels like a nightmare, she struggles to come to terms with her husband's crisis, her daughter's estrangement, and her own capacity for forgiveness and reinvention.

Jonathan Dee is the author of seven novels, including The Locals, A Thousand Pardons, and The Privileges, which was a finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize. A recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation, he teaches in the graduate writing program at Syracuse University.
'A Thousand Pardons is that rare thing: a genuine literary thriller. Eerily suspenseful, packed with dramatic event . . . trenchant and hilarious.' Jennifer Egan
Ben and Helen Armstead have reached breaking point and it takes one afternoon - and a single act of recklessness - for Ben to deal the final blow to their marriage, spectacularly demolishing everything they built together.
Helen and her teenage daughter Sara leave for Manhattan where Helen takes a job in PR - her first in many years - and discovers she has a gift for spinning crises into second chances. But can she apply her professional talent to her person life?
A Thousand Pardons is an elegant, audacious, gripping and sharply observed novel about a marriage in ruins and a family in crisis; about the limits of self-invention and the seduction of self-destruction.
'Guilt, redemption and the American dream of starting afresh are [Dee's] themes in this thoroughly enjoyable comic tale.' Daily Mail
'The American novelist with his finger on the pulse.' Mark Lawson, BBC Front Row
'Shrewdly observed and compulsively readable.' Literary Review
