'If The Girl on the Train was the woman of 2015, then Sophie Stark
is this year's model. Anna North's novel, The Life and Death of
Sophie Stark, has been a hit in America, with Lena Dunham
describing its protagonist as a "totally unforgettable female
antihero". Out now - soon every girl on every train will be reading
it' Sunday Times Who is the real Sophie Stark? The Life and Death
of Sophie Stark is the story of an enigmatic film director, told by
the six people who loved her most. Brilliant, infuriating,
all-seeing and unknowable, Sophie Stark makes films said to be
'more like life than life itself'. But her genius comes at a
terrible cost: to her husband, to the brother she left behind, and
to an actress who knows too much. With shades of We Are All
Completely Beside Ourselves, A Visit from the Goon Squad and
Where'd You Go, Bernadette, it combines a uniquely appealing
sensibility with a compulsively page-turning plot. 'Thriller-paced,
with mysteries revealed at every turn. The great mystery at the
centre is Sophie Stark, a totally unforgettable female anti-hero
who conforms to absolutely none of our expectations and suffers
deeply for it' Lena Dunham 'North is a natural, butter-smooth
storyteller' Maggie Shipstead, author of SEATING ARRANGEMENTS 'I
read THE LIFE AND DEATH OF SOPHIE STARK with my heart in my mouth.
Not only a dissection of genius and the havoc it can wreak, but
also a thunderously good story' Emma Donoghue, author of ROME
'Jennifer Egan, eat your heart out' Sam Baker 'A captivating
portrait of the artist as a young woman. It's a story that examines
the notion of artistic legacy and meditates on the ethics involved
in film-making and storytelling' THE INDEPENDENT 'Gripping and
graceful' THE GUARDIAN 'The year's must read' GLAMOUR
