โœฆ Synopsis

WINNER OF THE JAMES TAIT BLACK PRIZE FOR FICTION 2022
'Remarkable' - Colm Tรณibรญn, author of Brooklyn
'Like Finnegans Wake , only readable'- The Times
In A Shock , a clutch of more or less loosely connected characters appear, disappear and reappear. They are all of them on the fringes of London life, often clinging on - to sanity, solvency or a story - by their fingertips. With this deftly conjured high-wire act, Ridgway achieves a fine balance between drama and fidelity to his characters. The result is pin-sharp and breathtaking.
**Book of the Year Selection in the Guardian , New York Times , Spectator , Hot Press and The White Review
Shortlisted for The Goldsmiths Prize **
