Book Synopsis

Caroline Rose has a problem. She hears voices and the incessant tapping of typewriter keys, and she seems to be a character in a novel . . . A comedy of errors, a crime novel, a book about books, Spark’s debut remains as otherworldly and mischievous as it was when first published sixty years ago.

The publishers acknowledge investment from Creative Scotland towards the publication of this book.

Supported by the Muriel Spark Society.
