Winner of the Whitbread First Novel AwardAgnes 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.

She is a writer with a poet's eye for convincing detail, and touches on the raw emotions of life in a way that is affecting and true. Sceptical, ironic, beautifully resonant prose . . . A splendid novel.
