Shortlisted for the 2012 Man Booker Prize Shortlisted for the 2012 Specsavers National Book Awards (UK Author of the Year) Shortlisted for the 2013 Jewish Quarterly Wingate 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 green-painted fingernails, walking naked out of the water and into the heart of their holiday. Why is she there?
