A new edition of the 2012 novel which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, from the author of "Hot Milk", which was also shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
As he arrives with his family at the villa in the hills above Nice, Joe sees a body in the swimming pool. But the girl is very much alive. She is Kitty Finch: a self-proclaimed botanist with greenpainted fingernails, walking naked out of the water and into the heart of their holiday. Why is she there? What does she want from them all? And why does Joe's enigmatic wife allow her to remain?
