Imagine that your life is a film directed by God. A romcom, obviously, complete with happy-ever-after ending. There will be tears, tantrums and misunderstandings, but you know you'll get there — and get your girl — in the end. Welcome to Pat's world. It's a world of silver linings and true love, but also a world where God makes movies and Kenny G lurks in your attic — and when Pat befriends the tragic Tiffany, he begins to question whether or not he might have got the genre wrong. The Silver Linings Playbook is a novel about love, life and American football... and what happens when the woman you love isn't the woman of your dreams. 'A captivating, life-affirming read, guaranteed to be the feelgood book of the year' Liz Jensen 'Delightful... a smart, touching, quirky read' Scotland on Sunday

Y la misión que le ha dado Dios es ponerse en forma y convertirse en un buen tipo para recuperar a su ex esposa. Bueno, Pat es un poco disfuncional y, por esta razón, ha pasado a lgunos años en un centro de salud mental.Ahora ha regresado al hogar familiar y allí, con la ayuda de su madre (una sufrida mujer que acaba por declararse en huelga de cocina y limpieza), su padre (un hombre gruñón que no tiene otra manera de relacionarse con su hijo que viendo deportes por la tele) y su hermano (un calculador nuevo rico que termina por mostrar su lado sensible) emprende su particular plan de rehabilitación y reconquista.Pero los caminos del señor son inescrutables, y el final feliz de Pat Peoples está muy lejos de ser como él había imaginado.

A powerful and important book for fans of Mark Haddon, THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK and Jay Asher. How would you spend your birthday if you knew it would be your last? Eighteen-year-old Leonard Peacock knows exactly what he'll do. He'll say goodbye. Not to his mum — who he calls Linda because it annoys her — who's moved out and left him to fend for himself. Nor to his former best friend, whose torments have driven him to consider committing the unthinkable. But to his four friends: a Humphrey-Bogart-obsessed neighbour, a teenage violin virtuoso, a pastor's daughter and a teacher. Most of the time, Leonard believes he's weird and sad but these friends have made him think that maybe he's not. He wants to thank them, and say goodbye. In this riveting and heart-breaking book, acclaimed author Matthew Quick introduces Leonard Peacock, a hero as warm and endearing as he is troubled. And he shows how just a glimmer of hope can make the world of difference.
