Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "Winner of the Whitbread Award for best novel and a finalist for the Man Booker Prize, THE ACCIDENTAL is the virtuoso new novel by the singularly gifted Ali Smith. Jonathan Safran Foer has called her writing 'thrilling.' Jeanette Winterson has praised her for her 'style, ideas, and punch.' Here, in a novel at once profound, playful, and exhilaratingly inventive, she transfixes us with a portrait of a family unraveled by a mysterious visitor. [] Amber--thirtysomething and barefoot--shows up at the door of the Norfolk cottage that the Smarts are renting for the summer. She talks her way in. She tells nothing but lies. She stays for dinner. As she insinuates herself into the family, the questions of who Amber is and how she's come to be there drop away. Instead, dazzled by her seeming exoticism, the Smarts begin to examine the accidents of their lives through the searing lens of Amber's perceptions. When she is finally banished from the cottage, Amber disappears from their sight, but not from their profoundly altered lives. [] Fearlessly intelligent, disarmingly playful, and lyrical, THE ACCIDENTAL establishes Ali Smith as one of our most singularly gifted writers." [publisher copy] "Spectacular . . . Allusive, ambitious and formally acrobatic . . . Original, restless, formally and morally challenging, Ali Smith remains a writer who resists definition."--The Times Literary Supplement. "Joyous . . . Smith plays dizzying games with her story and language; she bends and buckles her prose, breathes fire into it, lets it cool, swirls it up in unimaginable shapes. This is writing as pure rapture, as giddy delight."--The Times. Fine ARC paperback in pictorial wraps w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Quite presentable.
