'A sublime gift' MEG MASON From the bestselling author, a taut, heartrending new novel about a writer's relationship with her larger-than-life mother. Ten months after her mother's death, the narrator of The Hero of This Book walks across London on a quiet Sunday. The city was a favourite of her mother's, and as the narrator wanders the streets, she finds herself recalling all that made her complicated mother extraordinary. Even though the woman, a writer, wants to respect her mother's nearly pathological sense of privacy, she must decide whether making a chronicle of this remarkable life constitutes an act of love or betrayal. * A New Yorker, Time, Washington Post, Oprah Daily and NPR Book of the Year * 'I absolutely loved it. A moving portrayal of daughterhood...suffused with warmth and love' MEGAN HUNTER 'Confirms McCracken as among the finest contemporary chroniclers of everyday life... wonderful' GUARDIAN 'Tender, funny, heartbreaking... a writer who always delights' RUMAAN ALAM
