BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HANDMAID'S TALE AND THE TESTAMENTS  WINNER OF THE 2000 MAN
BOOKER PRIZE   'Ten days after the war ended  my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge'  
Decades after Laura's mysterious demise  her sister Iris recounts her memories of their
childhood  and of the dramatic deaths that have punctuated their wealthy  eccentric family's
history. Intertwined with Iris's story are chapters from the scandalous novel that made Laura
famous  in which two unnamed lovers meet secretly in rented rooms and seedy cafés  themselves
writing a pulp fantasy novel of a blind killer on a distant planet.  As these
stories-within-stories twist and turn through love and jealousy  self-sacrifice and betrayal 
so does the real narrative  as all move closer to catastrophe in a brilliant and astonishing
final twist. By turns lyrical  outrageous  formidable  compelling and funny  this is a novel
filled with deep humour and dark drama.
