Description

A captivating, mysterious, intelligent, mercilessly mocking new novel by—no doubt—one of the most, most modern writers. “Number 11” grew out of two novels by Jonathan Coe, loved by many—“The House of Sleep” and “What a Crooked Game!” It’s not a book—it’s love.

Once, the little Rachel was staying with her grandmother and saw a strange Bird Woman. And on her next visit she found one ominous thing in the forest. Then Rachel grew up and became an adult. And she started meeting far stranger people and stumbling upon far more sinister things. An ordinary girl found herself at the very center of a web of lies. But a web of what? And whose web…?

This is a novel about hundreds of tiny connections that permeate society, connect the worlds of individual people, and determine all of us. This is a novel about how easily it is to turn all of us into fools. It’s Jonathan Coe’s new novel—one who shows, better than anyone, the world we live in in the truest light.
