There But For The

A Novel

Ali Smith

A dinner-party guest named Miles locks himself in an upstairs room and refuses to come out, triggering a media frenzy and the start of a puzzling and engaging novel. Miles communicates only through cryptic notes slipped under the door, and we see him through the eyes of four people who hardly know him. Explore the characters' wit and wordplay as well as their need for separation and true connection in a novel that balances cleverness with compassion, surrealism with reality, written by none other than Ali Smith.
