Description
A sparkling satire from Ali Smith, author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted and Women's Prize-winning novel How to be both. At its centre is a strange and beautiful place where everyone is more than they first appear. One night at a dinner party, a stranger takes an unexpected action that sets off a chain of events touching the owners, guests, neighbours, and the whole country. As time passes, Smith draws us into this world with her characteristic playfulness, seriousness, and profound cleverness. This novel is a dazzling exploration of human connection and the complexities of everyday life, full of surprises and unexpected twists.
