A powerful and page-turning read about one girl's struggle with her adolesence, and a viclous bully at school... Anna Goldsmith has moved with her family from her posh school in London to a small Yorkshire town, and the local comprehensive. Straight away she knows she doesn't fit in - she's too brainy, and her accent sticks out a mile. Nobody bothers to make friends with her, except for Hayley Parkin; the most popular girl in Anna's year. Charismatic, charming and pretry, with a year-round tan, Hayley is perfect, and Anna finally relaxes. But Hayley is not all she seems, soon she's freezing Anna out - ignoring her, making nasty sarcastic remarks, then nice as pie - Anna is totally confused.

This is a wickedly sharp, history-bending, cosmos-colliding novel from one of Britain's most iconic authors. Meet Frances, Fay's might-have-been younger sister, an unreliable narrator who bends history and blends universes to create a sparkling and prophetic portrait of a once and future Britain. It's 2013 and eighty-year-old Frances is listening to the debt collectors pounding on the front door of Number 3, Chalcot Crescent. While she waits for the bailiffs to give up and leave, Frances writes. She writes about the boyfriends she borrowed and the husband she stole from Fay. She writes about the Shock, the Crunch, the Crisis and the Bite, about NUG the National Unity Government, about ration books and National Meat Loaf (suitable for vegetarians). She writes about family secrets...The problem is that fact and fiction are blurring in Frances' mind. Are faceless assassins trying to kill her younger daughter? Are her grandchildren really ...
