From the NUMBER 1 bestselling author of LIFE AFTER LIFE, SHRINES OF GAIETY and NORMAL RULES DON'T APPLY
On a peat and heather island off the west coast of Scotland, Effie and her mother Nora take refuge in the large mouldering house of their ancestors and tell each other stories.
Nora, at first, recounts nothing that Effie really wants to hear, like who her father was - variously Jimmy, Jack, or Ernie. Effie tells of her life at college in Dundee, where she lives in a lethargic relationship with Bob, a student who never goes to lectures, seldom gets out of bed, and to whom the Klingons are as real as the French and the Germans (more real than the Luxemburgers).
But strange things are happening. Why is Effie being followed? Why is everyone writing novels? Is someone killing the old people? And where is the mysterious yellow dog?
'Sends jolts of pleasure off the page...Kate Atkinson's funniest foray yet...it is a work of Dickensian or even Shakespearean plenty' SCOTSMAN

Kate Atkinson is one of the world's foremost novelists. Her most recent novel, Shrines of Gaiety, set in the aftermath of the First World War, is a Sunday Times bestseller. She won the Whitbread Book of the Year prize with her first novel, Behind the Scenes at the Museum. Her three critically lauded and prize-winning novels set around the Second World War are Life After Life, an acclaimed 2022 BBC TV series, A God in Ruins (both winners of the Costa Novel Award) and Transcription. Her bestselling literary crime novels featuring former detective Jackson Brodie, Case Histories, One Good Turn, When Will There Be Good News? and Started Early, Took My Dog, became a BBC television series starring Jason Isaacs. Jackson Brodie later returned in the novel Big Sky. Kate Atkinson was awarded an MBE in 2011 and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

Condición: Bueno. : En una isla de turba y brezo frente a la costa oeste de Escocia, Effie y su madre Nora se refugian en la gran casa enmohecida de sus antepasados y se cuentan historias. Nora, al principio, no cuenta nada que Effie realmente quiera oír, como quién era su padre: ya fuera Jimmy, Jack o Ernie. Effie cuenta su vida en la universidad de Dundee, donde vive una relación letárgica con Bob, un estudiante que nunca va a clase, rara vez se levanta de la cama y para quien los klingons son tan reales como los franceses y los alemanes (más reales que los luxemburgueses). Pero están pasando cosas extrañas. ¿Por qué siguen a Effie? ¿Por qué todo el mundo escribe novelas? ¿Alguien está matando a los ancianos? ¿Y dónde está el misterioso perro amarillo?
