A savagely funny and perceptive novel about a washed-up writer and the havoc he has wrought, comparable in its piercing wit to the Melrose novels by Edward St Aubyn.

They were colour-supplement darlings of the 1980s: Patrick, the sexy, ferocious young playwright, scourge of an enthralled establishment, and Sara, who abandoned her two children to fulfil her destiny as Patrick''s beautiful, devoted wife and muse.

Thirty-five years later, Sara''s death leaves Patrick alone in their crumbling house in Cornwall, with his whisky, his writer''s block and his undimmed rage against the world. But bereavement is no respecter of life''s estrangements, and Sara''s children, Louise and Nigel, are now adults, with memories, questions and agendas of their own. What was their mother really like? Why did she leave them? What has she left them? And how can Patrick carry on without the love of his life?

Getting Colder is a painfully funny and perceptive novel about family, love, and how sometimes the harder you look, the less you find.
