2003. Reprint. A fine, unmarked copy.

Description

Caught in an over-vivid world, Kitty feels haunted by her "child that never was". As children all around become emblems of hope, longing and grief, she begins to understand the reasons for her shaky sense of self.

Awards

Shortlisted for Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2003 and Booker Prize for Fiction 2003.

Reviews

"An extremely good first novel: deceptively simple, subtly observed. Moving through Kitty's mental landscape feels like snorkeling through a coral reef."
