  There But For The by Ali Smith

  Price: £8.99    Add to Basket

  During a dinner party, a guest who the hosts barely know leaves the table, locks himself in one of the bedrooms and refuses to leave. As the hours turn to days, and then weeks, the consequences of this stranger's actions ripple outwards. Split into four parts - each a contained character study of the people who knew this man – this intoxicating and playful novel ebbs and flows through issues of time, memory, music and metaphor.
