Reviews:

Sequestered in his blitz-battered Regent's Park house in 1944, the ailing Herbert George Wells, 'HG' to his family and friends, looks back on a life crowded with incident, books, and women. Has it been a success or a failure? Once he was the most famous writer in the world, 'the man who invented tomorrow'; now he feels like yesterday's man.

A funny and masterful new novel from the critically acclaimed author of }Nice Work, Therapy, Author, Author{ and }Deaf Sentence{. Lodge fictionally recreates the live of H.G. Wells, the writer, thinker, lover and man of genius. Wells looks back on his life as WWII draws to close and he nears death. Lodge has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize twice. 'Lodge remains one of the very best English comic novelists of the post-war era' }Time Out{
