By Matthew Quick

'Original, compelling, uplifiting' Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project.

Bartholomew Neil is thirty-nine and lost.
After the death of his beloved mum he has no idea how to be on his own, and he knows it's about time he found his flock.

But how does a man whose whole life has been grounded learn how to fly?
And what can Richard Gere, a beautiful librarian, a struggling priest and a foul-mouthed and troubled young man teach Bartholomew about finding love and happiness?

Whatever it is, Bartholomew is in for a lot more than he bargained for . . .

Matthew Quick

In the six months that followed his leaving teaching and the Philadelphia area, Matthew Quick floated down the Peruvian Amazon and formed 'The Bardbarians' (a two-man literary circle), backpacked around Southern Africa, hiked to the bottom of a snowy Grand Canyon, soul-searched, and finally began writing full-time. His debut novel, The Silver Linings Playbook, was adapted into the Oscar-winning movie starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Matthew earned his Creative Writing MFA through Goddard College. He has since returned to the Philadelphia area, where he lives with his wife and their greyhound.
