A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Short-listed for the Booker Prize. “A singular accomplishment.” — Boston Globe “Powerfully bewitching.” — Los Angeles Times In 1912, rational Fred Fairly, one of Cambridge’s best and brightest, crashes his bike and wakes up in bed with a stranger — fellow casualty Daisy Saunders, a charming, pretty, generous working-class nurse. So begins a series of complications — not only of the heart but also of the head — as Fred and Daisy take up each other’s education and turn each other’s philosophies upside down. This new edition features an introduction by Philip Hensher, author of Scenes from Early Life, along with new cover art.
