In her highly acclaimed and most ambitious book to date, the brilliant young Scottish writer Ali Smith brings alive five unforgettable characters and traces their intersecting lives.

Review by Livvy
This is a fabulous little novel. Ali Smith has an incredibly creative mind, effortlessly weaving together these five stories with wit, humour and compassion. A beautiful insight into the vastness of our small world and the impact that one event can have on many individuals.
