An impeccably nuanced exploration of changing taste, class and social etiquette, The Strange's Child, written in deliciously witty and observant prose, is an enthralling novel from one of the finest writers in the English language. 'With The Stranger's Child, an already remarkable talent unfurls into something spectacular' Sunday Times 'A remarkable, unmissable achievement ... One leaves the novel with a sense of the truly extraordinary' Independent 'Elegant, seductive... Издательство: "Picador" (2012) Формат: 160x210, 576 стр.
