À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'Sometimes Jeff wonders if his ex-wife ever goes on to AirBed to read his reviews. Probably not. She left a year ago to live in America with a hedge fund manager, taking with her the steady salary that, until the divorce, had been paying their bills. That's when Bennett decided to move into the studio at the end of the garden and rent-out the family home on AirBed. He doesn't think his Super Host status would impress Eliza. Almost nothing impressed her'

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Bennett Driscoll is a Turner Prize nominated artist who was a Bright Young Thing. Now, aged 55, his wife has left him, the reviews have dried up, and his gallery wants to stop selling his paintings, saying they'll have more value retrospectively...when he's dead. So, left with a large West London home and no income, he moves into his painting studio in the back garden and rents out the house, soon reaching status as a Super Host on AirBed.
At last, the money is coming in, but he's loveless and, well, lonely. Turns out his house guests are as quirky, lost and entertaining as Bennett himself, unwittingly unlocking the parts of Bennett's life that have been forgotten to him for too long, but can they help him feel less lost in the place he knows best?

Wry, rueful and rich in observation, SUPER HOST provides a delicious portrait of middle-age, marriage, and the underlying fears and loneliness that colour so many lives.
