Waterstones Scottish Book of the Year. The Other Mrs Walker is the
beguiling debut from Mary Paulson-Ellis, for fans of Kate Atkinson
and Sarah Waters. Somehow she'd always known that she would end
like this. In a small square room, in a small square flat. In a
small square box, perhaps. Cardboard, with a sticker on the
outside. And a name . . . An old lady dies alone and unheeded in a
cold Edinburgh flat on a snowy Christmas night. A faded emerald
dress hangs in her wardrobe; a spilt glass of whisky pools on the
floor. A few days later a middle-aged woman arrives back in the
city she thought she'd left behind, her future uncertain, her past
in tatters. She soon finds herself a job at the Office for Lost
People, tracking down the families of those who have died neglected
and alone. But what Margaret Penny cannot yet know, is just how
entangled her own life will become in the death of one lonely
stranger . . . 'One of the strongest debuts of the year' Herald
'Full of twists and turns' Independent 'A wonderful, inventive
debut . . . I can't wait to see what this author has up her sleeve
next' Fanny Blake, Daily Mail
