Synopsis

When young idealist Tom publicly humiliates politician Monty in a Cornish pub, it sparks a simmering feud that cascades through their intertwined lives. The consequences of their argument, and the deadly wager they strike, will cascade down the decades. Years later, they find themselves a long way from St Piran onto a colossal iceberg drifting south away from Greenland, their only companion a starving polar bear. This is a heart-stopping tale of anger, tragedy, and enduring love, cast against the long unfolding backdrop of an irreversible global crisis.

    Following Original Prin, a NYTBR Editor’s Choice and Globe and Mail Best Book, Dante’s Indiana is an extraordinary journey through the divine comedies and tragedies of our time. 
    Middle-aged, married, but living on his own, Prin has lost his way. Desperate for money and purpose, he moves to small-town Indiana to work for an evangelical millionaire who’s building a theme park inspired by Dante’s Inferno. He quickly becomes involved in the difficult  lives of his co-workers and in the wider struggles of their opioid-ravaged community while trying to reconcile with his distant wife and distant God. Both projects spin out of control, and when a Black teenager is killed, creationists, politicians and protesters alike descend. In the midst of this American chaos, Prin risks everything to help the lost and angry souls around him while searching for his own way home. Affecting and strange, intimate and big-hearted, Dante’s Indiana is a darkly divine comedy for our time.

    ‘Abigail Mann is a sparky new talent on the scene. The Lonely Fajita is comforting, witty, wise and thoroughly entertaining. (And it made me crave fajitas)’ Milly Johnson 
    It’s Elissa’s birthday, and she’s accidentally booked a cervical smear instead of a celebration… Great. The icing on the cake? Her boyfriend is kicking her out of their houseshare. 
      
    So when she’s offered the chance to live with a pensioner rent-free, Elissa knows she needs to impress Annie, who turned down the last twenty-two applicants. Somehow, even after Elissa goes on about ‘definitely not being an axe-murderer’, Annie chooses her. 
      
    And just like Elissa, prickly, sweary, big-hearted Annie could use a friend. 
    Elissa may have nowhere else to go, but is she just where she needs to be?

    ATTENTION, WALKING RED FLAG: 
    Do you panic when someone texts, “I miss you”? 
    Have you ghosted someone while still liking all their Instagram posts? 
    Does the idea of an actual healthy relationship make you want to jump out of a moving vehicle? 
    CONGRATULATIONS. YOU MAY BE ENTIRELY INCAPABLE OF LOVE. But don’t worry—this book is not here to fix you. Instead, it will celebrate your terrible dating habits with: 
    A step-by-step guide to self-sabotaging any relationship before it gets serious. 
    The “Should I Text Them Back?” flowchart (spoiler: you won’t). 
    An exclusive Avoidant Attachment Bingo (check off “Lost interest the second they liked me back” and “Developed an existential crisis over a ‘Good morning’ text”). 
    Tactical escape routes for when someone actually wants commitment (options include moving to another city overnight and faking a sudden spiritual journey). 
    This book will NOT help you become emotionally available. 
    It will NOT guide you toward a loving, fulfilling relationship. 
    But it WILL make you laugh at your own dysfunction while you continue ruining every romantic opportunity life gives you. 
    For entertainment purposes only. If you actually follow this book’s advice, you should be legally required to carry a warning label.
