 DescriptionGripping, insightful and deft, Maggie O'Farrell's third novel is a haunting story of the way our families shape our lives. It won the Somerset Maugham Award. On a cold February afternoon, Stella catches sight of a man she hasn't seen for many years, but instantly recognises. Or thinks she does. At the same moment on the other side of the globe, in the middle of a crowd of Chinese New Year revellers, Jake realises that things are becoming dangerous. They know nothing of one another's existence, but both Stella and Jake flee their lives: Jake in search of a place so remote it doesn't appear on any map, and Stella for a destination in Scotland, the significance of which only her sister, Nina, will understand. Author descriptionMaggie O'Farrell was born in Northern Ireland in 1972, and grew up in Wales and Scotland. She is the author of two novels, AFTER YOU'D GONE which won a Betty Trask award, and MY LOVER'S LOVER. She lives in London. |
