What Are You Like by Anne Enright
She has the same smile, but she is wearing the wrong clothes: she is the same, only different. Anne Enright's astonishing novel moves between Dublin, New York and London, following the lives of the real Maria and the girl in the picture.

'Anne Enright is a very original writer - a spry surrealist who challenges the world with extraordinary, lancing sentences..so intelligent and so controlled' -- James Wood * Guardian *
