Recenzii

Exuberantly inventive ... at once dazzlingly bright and profoundly dark
Joyous, a shot across the bows . . . writing as rapture, as giddy delight
An astonishing book - funny and moving, playful and shocking. It is what one hopes for in a modern novel, and yet it confounds all expectations. It is complex. It is beautiful. It is exhilarating. It is fiction at its most artful
A beguiling page-turner ... a brilliant creation. To readThe Accidentalis to be excited from first to last
Smith's novels fizz with pyrotechnic prose, whirl-wind openings, bewitching invention

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

'My mother began me one evening in 1968 on a table in the café of the town's only cinema . . .'
One hot summer a stranger arrives at the Norfolk holiday home of the Smart family. Intriguing, beguiling, arresting, Amber brings love, joy, pain and not a little upheaval, throwing the carefully ordered world of the Smarts into the air. They will be forever changed by Amber but how will they know whether it is for the bad, the good or something else entirely?

'Joyous ... writing as rapture, as giddy delight' The Times

'Funny, sexy, poignant, bewitching' Observer
