JOY is a hugely inventive, ambitious and absorbing novel about pleasure, love, loss and work

In a sparkling glass office in London's Square Mile - a place bursting with flirtations, water-cooler confrontations and dangerous amounts of abject boredom - talented young lawyer Joy Stephens falls forty feet onto a marble floor.

In the shadow of this baffling event, the lives of those closest to her begin to collide and change in unexpected ways...

Industry Reviews

A brilliant book... Jonathan Lee is one of those rare, agile writers who can take your breath away. -- Catherine O'Flynn, author of What Was Lost
Exquisitely and surprisingly written...[Joy] proves that Lee is a significant talent and that his future work should be well worth awaiting. * Observer *
Outstanding ... a forensic portrayal of despair that shows Lee to be an exceptional, brave prose stylist... Funny and humane, Joy is an enormously impressive piece of storytelling. -- Tom Williams * Literary Review *
Jonathan Lee's second novel, Joy (William Heinemann), charts the final day in the life of a high-flying young lawyer. Lee writes with extraordinary vividness, with prose so sharply defined it takes your breath away. -- Elizabeth Day * Observer (Books of the Year 2012) *
With its supple prose, ingenious structure, wit and slow-burn sympathy, Joy is a sly miracle of a novel. -- A.D. Miller
