The End Of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas

The End Of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas

When Ariel Manto uncovers a copy of The End of Mr. Y in a second-hand bookshop, she can't believe her eyes. She knows enough about its author, the outlandish Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas, to know that copies are exceedingly rare. And, some say, cursed. With Mr. Y under her arm, Ariel finds herself thrust into a thrilling adventure of love, sex, death and time-travel

Ingenious and original. . A cracking good yarn, fizzing with intelligence -- Philip Pullman
Smart, stylish and dizzying * * The Scotsman * *
Enormously ambitious and satisfying * * Time Out * *
Thomas pulls off this intellectual rollercoaster of a novel with dry humour and panache, the ideas sparkle and the protagonist is wryly appealing. * * The Sunday Times * *

Scarlett Thomas was born in London in 1972. Her other novels include Bright Young Things, Going Out and The End of Mr.Y, which was longlisted for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction 2007. She teaches creative writing at the University of Kent.
