The Man Who Wasn't There by Pat Barker
This story of a 1950s latch-key kid and his search for a father, is a mixture of make-believe and gritty reality. The author's other books include "Union Street", "Blow Your House Down" and "The Century's Daughter".
Pat Barker was born in Yorkshire and began her literary career in her forties, when she took a short writing course taught by Angela Carter. Encouraged by Carter to continue writing and exploring the lives of working class women, she sent her fiction out to publishers. Thirty-five years later, she has published fifteen novels, including her masterful Regeneration Trilogy, been made a CBE for services to literature, and won awards including the Guardian Fiction Prize and the UK's highest literary honour, the Booker Prize. She lives in Durham and her latest novel is The Silence of the Girls.
