Description

Juno Isabella Flock is a middle-aged dancer and performance artist who spends her days caring for her husband, and her nights chatting to love scammers online. She’s aware of the risks these men pose – she’s watched a documentary about them – but she’s also discovered a heady freedom in these online conversations, and the lies – and truths – they allow her to release.

And then Juno meets Owen_Wilson223 – or, to use his real name, Benu. Although separated by thousands of miles, they sense an immediate connection between them, and gradually begin to reveal more and more about themselves to each other: about their real selves, and about who they really want to be. And just as Juno sees through Benu’s lies, he sees through hers too.

Hey, Good Morning, How Are You? is a whirlwind of a novel. It’s about yearning to stay young while age marches on; it’s about how to stay truthful while the internet changes everything; it’s about love and desire in all their many, conflicting forms. And most of all, it’s a novel about the way we are all connected, by the same constellations and the same night sky, however different our circumstances.
