A classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world’s best storytellers – ‘a masterpiece’ The Times

Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She’s still in the marital home – a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse – but not with John. Instead, she’s with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy’s womb.

‘An astonishing act of literary ventriloquism unlike any in recent literature. A bravura performance, it is the finest recent work from a true master…’ Daily Telegraph
