Synopsis

This debut novel from prize winning author Michel Faber is an outstanding work of fiction with a theme that draws the reader into a terrifying world. The central character is a female named Isserley who is obsessed with picking up male hitch-hikers - just so long as they are well muscled and alone. As we learn more of Isserley so the suspense develops and so the unease grows. A shocking and challenging story beautifully written.

Press Quotes

Newsday

“Alternatively gorgeous and terrifying, lyrical and brutal, the book compels and teases: a growing need to turn the pages sneaks up on you quietly as Faber slowly reveals the various facets of his strange, elusive heroine.”

The Observer

“It'll get you, one way or another. Of that there is no doubt.”

The Spectator

“...unashamedly adventurous and eclectic... a consummate showman.”

The Sunday Times

“Faber writes superbly... It is a far reaching story about callousness, objectification and lack of empathy with other beings.”
