Emotionally Weird by Kate Atkinson
Kate Atkinson is one of my absolute favourite authors (her novel Life After Life is literally one of the best books ever written). So I was very pleased earlier this year when I realised I hadn’t actually read all of her books and came across Emotionally Weird and Human Croquet. Effie is on a deserted Scottish island in a cold house with her mother, Nora. With nothing else to entertain themselves, they tell each other stories....
