A new novel from the author of "Astonishing Splashes Of Colour", which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. It's a wise, warm story of a woman negotiating her way through life without realising she doesn't understand the rules of the game. The narrator has Asperger's, a topic of enduring interest as can be seen from the success of "A Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time" and "Born On A Blue Day".
