kate atkinson's human croquet
seriously, who writes the copy for the back of books? what's written on the back of my paperback copy of this novel bears absolutely no relation to the story (which is excellent, by the way). i think atkinson is intrigued by family secrets--here, sixteen year old isobel, growing up in england in 1960, wonders what happened to her long-gone mother as everyone around her--including herself--seems to be going a little bit mad. i only got it this afternoon and basically devoured it, so obviously i enjoyed it. :)
