Frank has been in a car accident*. The doctor tells him he lost his spleen, but Frank believes he has lost more. He is missing memories - of the people around him, of the history they share and of how he came to be in the crash. All he remembers is that he is a lawyer who specialises in small print. But when Oscar, his brother, takes the family company into business with an inventively cruel corporation** and Alice, his wife, starts to seem oddly unlike the woman he remembers, Frank's world starts to unspool and the terms and conditions that he has lived his life by*** begin to change.

*apparently quite a serious one

**we can't tell you what it's called for legal reasons, but believe us, it's evil

***and which are rarely in his favour

Reviews for Terms & Conditions

This tale of a lawyer losing his grip on reality is original, very funny and very poignant. Read it! Paul Torday, author of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen It's wonderful. Funny, poignant, simple and profound - it's the kind of book I absolutely love. And it has the best ending I've read in a very long time Gavin Extence, author of The Universe Versus Alex Woods This great debut feels fresh and playful, and exceptionally readable (footnotes have never been so addictive). It also has stuff to say about life, too, and the importance of seeing the big picture - and the small print. Every book seems to have funny and life-affirming written on it but this one actually is Matt Haig, author of The Humans Deliciously cynical story Independent on Sunday Funny Irish Mail on Sunday Hilarious Sun Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measures ... It's an assured first novel; engaging, absorbing and incredibly life-affirming. Hopefully it will find the wide audience it deserves Yorkshire Post Hilarious and heartbreaking Prima
