What is Another World about?
From the Booker Prize-winning and Women's Prize-shortlisted author of The Silence of the Girls 'Gripping in the best, most exquisite sense of the word' Mail on Sunday 'Utterly compelling... She is a novelist who probes deep, revealing what people prefer to keep hidden' Scotsman 'Extraordinary...
