'The greatest Scottish novelist of modern times.' Ian Rankin In
this first novel by Muriel Spark - author of The Prime of Miss Jean
Brodie - the only things that aren't ambiguous are Spark's
matchless originality and glittering wit. With an introduction by
Ali Smith. Caroline Rose is plagued by the tapping of typewriter
keys and the strange, detached narration of her every thought and
action. She has an unusual problem - she realises she is in a
novel. Her fellow characters are also possibly deluded: Laurence,
her former lover, finds diamonds in a loaf of bread - could his
elderly grandmother really be a smuggler? And Baron Stock, her
bookseller friend, believes he is on the trail of England's leading
Satanist. 'A master of malice and mayhem.' Michiko Kakutani, New
York Times 'Brilliantly original and fascinating.' Evelyn Waugh 'A
light, clever, mirthful tour de force ... It disrupts and charms
its readers with its combination of wit, precision, intelligence
and hilarity. As vibrant as ever, more than fifty years after its
first appearance.' Ali Smith
