The Pursuit of Ordinary- Nigel Jay Cooper 5*  

Another brilliant book from Nigel Jay Cooper- one you won’t forget- for good reasons. Joe was involved in a car accident whilst walking with his wife,  but he sees the scene and is able to walk away. He sees his wife cradling a man who is obviously dead.  Little by little he realises he is in another man’s body-Dan. Dan is homeless and has mental issues such as bulimia. Slowly Joe talks to Dan and gets him to pass a note to Joe’s wife. What transpires is rather unusual to say the least. This is a wonderfully creative story with all the depth of character that Nigel writes with ease. A tale of the unexpected, a tale of hope and despair and life. Of smiles, and tears , ups and downs. Friends, lovers and relations. A brilliant concept,beautifully written and a highly enjoyable read.
