Under The Skin (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'Strange, adept, original . . . Would that more first novels were as adventurous or as funky and daring in their conception.'
Independent on Sunday

Isserley spends most of her time driving. But why is she so interested in picking up hitchhikers? And why are they always male, well-built and alone?

An utterly unpredictable and macabre mystery, Michel Faber's debut novel is an outstanding piece of fiction that will stay with you long after you have turned the final page.

Shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize

'Unforgettable. Unputdownable.'
Scotland on Sunday

'This is a man who would give Conrad a run at writing the perfect sentence.'
Guardian

'A bewitching, deeply strange cruise through a timeless Highland landscape beset by mutilation, alienation, hitchhikers, commerce and bovine malfeasance, it teases and prods the reader up a plethora of literary blind
alleys before hauling them screaming towards its final, thrilling destination.'
Daily Telegraph
