Description

WINNER OF THE JAMES TAIT BLACK PRIZE FOR FICTION 2022‘Remarkable' - Colm Tóibín, author of Brooklyn'Like Finnegans Wake, only readable' - The TimesIn A Shock, a clutch of more or less loosely connected characters appear, disappear and reappear.

They are all of them on the fringes of London life, often clinging on – to sanity, solvency or a story – by their fingertips.

With this deftly conjured high-wire act, Ridgway achieves a fine balance between drama and fidelity to his characters.

The result is pin-sharp and breathtaking. Book of the Year Selection in the Guardian, New York Times, Spectator, Hot Press and The White ReviewShortlisted for The Goldsmiths Prize
