Sobre IBD

Harry Whittaker is a world-famous, superstar actor, as revered as Laurence Olivier, as roguish as Jack Nicholson. When he dies suddenly of a heart attack he finds, to his astonishment, that he’s still here among us, able to watch the effect of his mean-spirited will on those left behind. Meanwhile his unacknowledged son Richard is struggling to escape from his failing café in Worthing, his dotty, demanding mother and the wrong girlfriend...'I romped through this! A mad handful of compelling characters, a generous helping of humanity, and a perfect ending. A warm-hearted read that fizzes with life.'- Ali Bacon, author of In the Blink of an Eye and A Kettle of Fish'Hugely enjoyable. I loved the idea behind this novel, so funny and original. Bobbie Darbyshire writes with wit, wisdom and warmth.'- Sarah Rayner, author of One Moment, One Morning and Searching for Mr Yesterday
