“Get ready to smile….[A] sweet story and the perfect antidote to the chaos that’s been 2021.” –t he Skimm A deeply funny and shrewdly observed debut novel about being lost in the very place you know by heart. Bennett Driscoll is a Turner Prize-nominated artist who was once a rising star. Now, at age fifty-five, his wife has left him, he hasn&apos;t sold a painting in two years, and his gallery wants to stop selling his work, claiming they&apos;ll have more value retrospectively...when he&apos;s dead. So, left with a large West London home and no income, he&apos;s forced to move into his artist&apos;s studio in the back garden and list his house on the popular vacation rental site, AirBed. A stranger now in his own home, with his daughter, Mia, off at art school, and any new relationships fizzling out at best, Bennett struggles to find purpose in his day-to-day. That all changes when three different guests--lonely American Alicia; tortured artist Emma; and cautiously optimistic divorcée Kirstie--unwittingly unlock the pieces of himself that have been lost to him for too long. Warm, witty, and utterly humane, Super Host offers a captivating portrait of middle age, relationships, and what it truly means to take a new chance at life.
