Thousand Pardons
Ben and Helen Armistead have reached breaking point. Once a privileged and loving couple widely envied and respected it takes just one afternoon - and a single act of recklessness - for Ben to deal the final blow spectacularly demolishing everything they built together. Separated from her husband Helen and her teenage daughter Sara leave their family home for Manhattan where Helen must build a new life for them both. There Helen takes a job in PR - her first in many years. Thrust back into the working world Helen discovers she has a rare gift: she can convince arrogant men to admit their mistakes spinning crises into second chances. But the same forgiveness she nurtures so successfully in her professional life is far harder to apply to her personal one. Faced with the fallout from her own
marriage - her daughter's increasingly distant behaviour - Helen must finally confront her own capacity for forgiveness. A Thousand Pardons" is an elegant audacious gripping and sharply observed novel about a marriage in ruins and a family in crisis; about the limits of self-invention and the seduction of self-destruction. Praise for Jonathan Dee: "A deliciously sophisticated engine of literary darkness". (Jonathan Franzen). "Dee is graceful; articulate and perceptive and often hilariously funny...full of elegance vitality and complexity". ("New York Times"). ""The Privileges" is verbally brilliant intellectually astute and intricately knowing. It is also very funny and a great great pleasure to read. Jonathan Dee is a wonderful writer". (Richard Ford). ""The Privileges" is a pitch-perfect
evocation of a particular stratum of New York society as well as a moving meditation on family and romantic love. The tour de force first chapter alone is worth the price of admission". (Jay McInerney)."
