Being Simon Haines

MEET SIMON HAINES.

For a decade he’s been chasing his dream: partnership at the legendary, family-run law firm of Fiennes & Plunkett. The gruelling hours and manic intensity of his job have come close to breaking him, but he has made it through the years and is now within a whisker of his millions: in less than two weeks, he will know the outcome of the partnership vote. He decides to spend the wait in Cuba in an attempt to rediscover his youthful enthusiasm and curiosity, and to clear his mind before the arrival of the news that might change his life forever. But alone in Havana he becomes lost in nostalgia and begins to relive his past…

A story of aspiration and self-doubt, conflict and love, Being Simon Haines paints a realistic, often humorous picture of a generation of young professionals in search of validation.

“Pretty unputdownable”
