An unborn child narrates betrayal, fear, love, complicity, and unbearable awareness.

This is Hamlet, reimagined, and the tragedy of being born into a broken world has never been told more brilliantly.

Nutshell

**Sunday Times Number One Bestseller** A classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world's best storytellers - 'a masterpiece' The Times Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She's still in the marital home - a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse - but not with John. Instead, she's with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb. 'An astonishing act of literary ventriloquism unlike any in recent literature. A bravura performance, it is the finest recent work from a true master...' Daily Telegraph
