WINNER OF THE WHITBREAD FIRST NOVEL AWARD

''A writer with a poet''s eye for convincing detail.'' Sunday Telegraph
''A funny, knowing tale of middle-class, middle-twenties angst ... Cool, resonant, and accomplished.'' Independent
''Told with irony and insight and some surreally beautiful imagery. At times it made me laugh out loud.'' Sheila MacKay

Agnes Day - sub-editor, suburbanite, failure extraordinaire - has discovered disconcerting gaps in her general understanding of the world. Terminally middle-class and incurably romantic, Agnes finds herself chronically confused by the most basic interactions. Life and love go on without her, but with a little façade she can pass herself off as a success. Beneath the fiction, however, the burden of truth becomes harder to bear.
