'A sublime gift' MEG MASON A taut ground-breaking new novel about a writer's relationship with her larger-than-life mother - and about the very nature of writing. 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 author of The Harpy 'Confirms McCracken as among the finest contemporary chroniclers of everyday life... wonderful' GUARDIAN 'Tender funny heartbreaking... a writer who always delights' RUMAAN ALAM author of Leave the World Behind
