Author's second novel. A painfully shy Glasgow radio announcer comfortable only being a disembodied voice behind locked studio doors, meets her new boarder: Cyrano de Bergerac come back from the dead. Selected for Granta's List of Best Young British Authors in both 1993 and 2003. Recipient of numerous awards, including the 2007 Costa Book of the Year Prize for her novel Day. "Captivating. Funny, mysterious and so original that it is easy to suspend disbelief." –Chicago Tribune
