FROM THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BIRDSONG

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Vivid . . . engagingly lucid and disarmingly funny' GUARDIAN 'Beautifully done . . . witty and poignant' THE TIMES 'Brilliant' OBSERVER

Welcome to Mike Engleby's world. Deep in the hallowed halls of an esteemed English university, Mike is one of the only working-class boys, amongst the privileged masses. He's also different, starkly so, but able to observe it all. But observation soon tips into obsession when his fixation, fellow student Jennifer, goes missing. What has Mike Engleby overlooked?

A cult classic and an exemplar of the campus novel, Engleby is a beguiling portrait of an outsider, told in an unforgettable voice.
